It probably would need very little modification to make it read volts,
with the addition of a flick switch for change over and a couple
of resistors.

This would seem a very easy thing to do. The bar
graph display could then represent 2 volts per led (giving a range
of 0 to 20v or, perhaps each led could represent each volt over 10v
giving a range of 10 - 20v.....either way it would be easy to see at
a glance that whatever was providing the power was providing an adequate
voltage. How about it Scott?
