Does fatshark make osd telemetry modules?

I'm thinking about getting the predator v2 bundle, as it comes with everything you need and it's all plug and play (plus it seems like I can either buy the goggles for 200, or get goggles, camera and transmitter for 250, it's a no brainer).
But my question is: since everything is so streamlined as far as setting it up goes, do they make an OSD telemetry for battery voltage that is designed to fit in their system? I'm having no luck finding anything.
 
The osd is a separate module that is in-between the vtx and the camera on the ac. The osd simply overlays the data on the video from the camera.

You will have to have one that is compatible with the flight controller that you are using.

I'm looking for something like this

But preferably something that I wouldn't have to wire into the already existing system that fatshark uses, I feel like having to wire in something yourself defeats the whole "plug and play" purpose.

I'm aware that more sophisticated OSD's run through your flight controller, but I'm pretty sure a simple voltage meter can run from your balance plug and through video out. Problem is, fatshark system already uses your balance lead for power.
 
That looks like it would work for overall voltage monitoring, but you will want cell voltage since they can all drain differently. You can either make or purchase a balance lead splitter.

A lot of this hobby is getting hands dirty, design, and creativity, unless you purchase a RTF with everything already built in such as a phantom, inspire, or 3dr solo.
