it doesn't say anything - you have to look at it...

I don't know how accurate they read because mine shows 14.5 or so. Seems to be pretty much the same all the time.

They are not very accurate, so look upon them as a warning device only. If yours changes from what it usually displays, then check with a multimeter.
