Incorrect Cell Count in HUD for Ardupilot

Cube Autopilot
1

Hey everyone,
While configuring the voltage and current sensor (Mauch 100Amp 4-6S/ 2x 5v , 3x 12v output BEC) on a Cube Orange + / Herelink setup in ardupilot ; on the HUD i noticed that the cell voltage says like 5.32V roughly, I have a 6S Lithium Ion battery and I assume its thinking its a 5S or maybe a 4S, the battery is not fully charged so Im thinking that might be the problem. Is there anyway to manually configure the system to read for a 6S battery? Obviously, I know im going to need to play with the Critial and Low Voltage params on the Cube, as well as, the ESCs. Does anyone have any advice here? I did find that in the earlier versions of ardupilot you could set the battery type in the setup menu or maybe I am blind and missed something…

Thanks,

Have you been through this - Power Monitor/Module Configuration in Mission Planner — Copter documentation

An old post, but for the record these are for 6S LiIon:

BATT_ARM_VOLT,19.10
BATT_CRT_VOLT,18.00
BATT_LOW_VOLT,18.60
MOT_BAT_VOLT_MAX,24.60
MOT_BAT_VOLT_MIN,16.80

and you can get them and some other parameters automatically set via the “Initial Parameters” in MissionPlanner, although the other settings are for copter.

You should have set up the battery monitor as follows, and you should have got Amps_per_volt and voltage divider values with the Mauch
