Either way, you'd have to use some type of LVC unless the step up or step down voltage followed the battery voltage and could set an alarm. This could be done with a switching circuit that did not actually regulate.
Nobody listens to Travis! This is exactly what I have been doing for over a year now with my React, and what I have been preaching LOL.
