Default Reading battery voltage

I have been using my dynamite sentry battery capacity gauge to check my lipo's after my run time. It only goes to 4s and now I am venturing into 6s in my buggy. What is the best way to check the batteries afterwards? So that I know if I need to recharge etc.?


I have a Venom pro charger and a Triton EQ charger.

Thanks!

This is what I use - it plugs into the balance connection and gives you each cell's voltage and the total voltage at a glance -

This looks good but is there one I can get locally?

This is the only guy I'm aware of that sells GT Power products in the US - you could ask him and see if he would get one, or just use the illuminated one he shows here - its similar, the diff is you have to scroll thru the cell voltages, it doesn't display them all at once like the other - may not be a big deal - plus you can see this one when its dark -

You can also use your Triton EQ to check each cell's voltage on screen. The venom pro might do it too.
