That's why I'm installing a rotary switch to my onboard volt meter, so I can check the whole pack, or any individual battery.
I already have the fuse block, the rotary switch, the ten conductor cable, so it's free, if you discount labor.

I can also hook up my laptop to my AXE4855 and datalog, while I'm climbing hills and monitoring.
Though not as clean a test, I can test under FULL load.
