So i have my MeshPocket and the ADC override is causing me some confusion.

Most nodes I see are considered fully charged when they are something like 4.21 volts.

If I set the ADC high enough to show 4.21 volts when it is done charging, then it doesn’t actually show the battery icon for something like an hour and a half after I unplug it from the charger. It shows as though it’s still connected to AC power.

It begins showing the battery icon at something like 4.11 volts, and if I set the ADC to the point where the battery icon shows as soon as I unplug it from the wall outlet, then the maximum it gets to while plugged in shows as 4.13 volts.

So should I lock the ADC at the higher value so that it shows 4.21 volts when it’s finished charging? Or should I lock it to the lower value where it says it’s at 4.13 volts when it’s finished charging? But immediately shows the battery icon when unplugged from the wall.

    So as I change the value in the app, it changes what is displayed on the screen, for example, I know for a fact that the battery is fully charged right now because I have it sitting beside me connected to the power, but if I set it to, for example, 4, then it shows that it’s at 3.7 volts and like 57% and it shows that in the app and on the battery screen, when I know that to be untrue.

    According to that blurb you pasted from above, which I did see, that would mean the battery should be anywhere between 4.15 volts at 99% of 4.2 and 4.24 volts at 101% of 4.2

    There is no way to adjust the operative ADC multiplier they talk about.
