I never go below the stated voltage but I figure I have some fudge area using the 6volt.

does your digital voltmeter apply a load to the battery? If not don't use it because it only gives you the voltage in a no load condion....as soon as you apply a load such as turning on the airplane the voltage can drop.....alot of airplanes have been lost checking battery voltage with a standard voltmeter
