Re: DC Voltage indicator
Are you looking to buy one, or is building one an option?

My knowledge of electronics is far more limited than I would like it to be, but what I would probably do is use a regulator to get you a fixed 5V value, and then use a comparator with your 5V reference and a resistor voltage divider on a line coming off the battery, if the 5V line is higher then the battery is below your value, and if its lower, then the battery is still good.
