are familiar with the VoltWatch battery monitor. It uses a simple LM3914
integrated circuit from National Semiconductor. A nice visual indicator just
before takeoff. Seems to me that it could be easily modified, or even
re-designed, for the higher voltage packs the E-power guys are using. Any of
you EEs want to make a few bucks?</SPAN></FONT></P>

used a method similar to the colored bands. The problem is, as Rex mentioned,
sometimes you forget to remove the green indicator when you use the
battery. To solve that problem why not use some type of plug cover that must
be removed in order to use the battery. This will prevent accidentally leaving
the green indicator on a pack. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
