I've done that as well with the TI 8100. I'm not sure that is good practice. Some one might chime in regarding their purpose in our type application.

I have not found using the 3rd pin works. The difference in voltage is too great and the meter tries to read each then adds the two. The drawing shows how I do it in all my VV. It is basically a separate circuit for the meter and center position is off because I don't want the light on all the time
What a great thread, just finished reading the 108 pages, bookmarking what I thought would be important when I get ready to build one of my own and of course I must thank bigblue for starting it all.
There were a couple of questions about incorporating a charging circuit into the mod and I'm wondering if anyone has tried making a VV mod using either the 5V 1.5A Mobile Power Supply Travel Portable USB Battery Charger 18650 or the 5V 1A Output USB 18650 Battery Box Charger Portable Mobile Power Supplies listed on this page with the end result being a VV mod and a way to keep the batteries charged?

I got one thinking the same thing, but it's a monster. Hold 4 18650's in your hand then add an inch or so on the end - I didn't find it comfortable to carry. I mainly wanted it for a tank in the box. It would work though - I decided it would be better for backup power though.
