| 4.2V is full, 3.8V(35% remaining) is time to recharge |
This is also GREAT for checking spare batteries. Whaaaat? You don't have spare batteries? "Two is one, and one is none" as they say. Think about that one for a minute, it will sink in.

New Accessory: Mini Volt Meter
I found this on CandlePower Forums and thought it was super cool. It's hand made by one of the members there and you can't get one unless you are a forum member...until now! I bought a handful of these and are offering them for sale on my site. If I was smart I would have put a coin next to this thing to show how tiny it is...it's really tiny. The display is about the size of a quarter.
The Alpha has a "low battery warning" that comes on at 3.2V; however, recharging before the battery gets this low will prolong its life. Of course there was no way to know how full the battery was, but now there is a very cool solution! Each wire has a small magnet on each end so you just attach it to the battery and get instant feedback on battery's charge condition.

I have a mini charger made by the same maker and it is amazing. Not one problem with my charger in 7 months. The maker of this volt meter makes excellent quality products. If anyone is using lithium rechargeables, for safety sake, check voltage before and after charging. Buy this easy to use (and super tiny) volt meter, you will not regret it.
