Is there a small battery tester available so I can monitor my batteries voltage. I'm just getting into mechs and don't want to run my battery to low while I'm learning.
Thanks

Where you looking for something that screws onto the 510 to check voltage? Or some type of external meter?
If you are near a Harbor Freight Tools you can find a coupon for a free (and that means "cheap") multimeter. They are ok for measuring DC voltage but don't expect it to give anything near correct resistance measurements.

Something small and portable so when I'm at work I'm not guessing what voltage my battery is at. I don't want to ruin a perfectly good battery by running it down to low.

if you have a .2Ω build, you'll be getting 75ish watts with a fresh battery...by 3V you're only getting 45W, you should notice that performance drop in the vape quality
Not saying I recommend any of them but the option is there.

Thanks. I was thinking of something like the tester that comes with the innokin tc 18650 mod.
I have NOT tested any of these nor read anything about them.
They could be the greatest thing since wavy sliced pickles or they could be the worst thing since the black plague, I have no idea.
All I did was try to answer your question so if you get one and it has an extra feature of making coffee that is ready when you wake up or blows up and you lose and arm, please report back to let others know.
(hopefully with all limbs attached)

I think that is probably what the majority of us do
You have a mech so you already have a vilt/ohm meter... that's what I used and use.
It only takes a little a while and you'll be able to feel the voltage drop when battery swap time is due.

As @HondaDavidson said, as you have a mech you must already have something at home, such as your Ohm reader, or your charger may display voltage?
It won't take long to get used to the feel of the power dropping. It really is noticeable, and whenever I pull I am at 3.6-3.7V. You will have a very weak vape if your battery gets too low. Remember most of the batteries we use are specified down to 2.5V on their datasheet. Below this will damage them, or damage you, but as long as you aren't going very low voltage wise you will be OK. (There is voltage under load too, but I am certain you will notice the drop off in perfomance).
Just keep checking when you are at home, and you will get the feeling in a day or two for sure.
