This circuit uses a LM339, a quad comparator. LM339 can work on single or dual supplies, it has a open collector output that can drive 15mA, low power consumption. The circuit is an untested design but it should work.

There are many better circuits in the various circuit archives i have linked on the front page, you just have to look around. When you measure the open circuit voltage of a battery with a high impedance DMM (10M), the value may be a bit misleading. Apply a dummy load to bleed the battery a bit so that proper readings can be taken on Load. The load below is a 100 ohms wire-wound fusible ceramic resistor which will heat a bit when you test 12V batteries.

This is a 9V power supply which will work even on power failure. It uses a rechargeable battery and regulators. A transformer with 15-0-15 AC volts output is required.
From my Power Electronic Circuits
This is a a circuit from my Power Supplies Section. There may be some documentation errors in my circuits. If you are used to building and troubleshooting circuits then it is ok.
This circuit is derived from an application note of L296, It is a Power Switching Regulator from ST Micro. U1A is wired as a differential amplifier and U1B a High Gain Comparator. C4 and C5 are parallel for lower ESR. Equivalent series resistanc Fast switching diode used is BYW80.
This is an incomplete version of the power supply used for the Alertness Monitor with hourly LED Display. This circuit used a Dual Color LED. Green meant Alert and Red meant No Alert or acknowledge press.

I can write here only in "Electronic English". Focus on the tech not grimmer. It may be like Pascal with a touch of Acronyms, codes and circuit axioms.
The top part is a 5V regulator with 0.7 Diode boost, means 5.7 V DC. The battery was floating on this point above the zener Z4, that connection comes from outside. A protection fuse maybe needed in case Zener draws more current. The Zeners were test selected to get above 6V along with the diode.
This circuit is built around LM3647 an Universal Battery Charger, This Circuit is an untested design. It is based on application hints and was provided as an example to the user. This circuit gives a 12V DC from mains or battery and the battery is also charged when power resumes.
Li-Ion Battery Charger - del90005
U1D monitors charge current and U1B monitors battery voltage these values are the feedback to charge controller U3. U1C drives Q2 to Control the charging process by switching in PWM. The LM7812 with a 2N6107 Current Booster Regulate the battery and mains DC to a 12V for powering the Product Circuits.
