DC in from Anton Bauer Brick question at DVinfo.net

I have my Ex-3 rigged up with the VF Gadgets shoulder plate with an Anton Bauer gold mount on the back of it feeding the DC in to the camera.

I'm using older Propak AB Bricks which don't have the power status window on them.... and since the power is coming from the DC imput, the only indication of the amount of juice left in the battery is the DC in Voltage indicator in the upper left of the viewfinder.... which is ok..... but can anyone tell me when, as the battery is used and that number goes down.... at what point it would not be enough to run the camera.... or worse, possibly damage it?

Thanks

My dionics run nicely from 16.2v down to about 14v, then the camera starts to say 'low voltage' and cuts out
