E Sky LCD Voltage Indicator

Ok so I've got an idea of how much current the receiver battery monitor draws (about 10mA) but what about the voltage. What does a green light really mean. Can I rely on a simple green or red LED to base my decision on?
I hooked up an E Sky LCD Voltage Indicator in parallel with the Tower Pro monitor to define the actual voltage levels represented by each LED. Keep in mind the battery pack used is a four cell, 4.8V 1100mA Sanyo pack.
According to the Tower Pro thresholds then, a pack is in good condition only when the measured voltage is greater than the defined voltage (4.8V).


Voltage monitor 5.3V
Voltage monitor - 5.1V
4.8V
4.6V
