Re: Measuring Voltage of a Charging Battery?

What we have done in the past is to have a momentary switch that cuts power to the chargers so that we can get an accurate reading (each battery is connected to a voltmeter and LCD display to give us voltage, but while the chargers are on you aren't just reading the battery).

Of course, this year between the new charger on sale from AndyMark and the Cross The Road Electronics Battery Beak, we will probably just use one or both of those.
