Thingy91 battery fuel gauge

Is there a way to get the battery charge % on the Thingy91?

  • Hi Andrew,

    You can check the battery voltage with the AT command AT%XVBAT

    Best regards,

  • Thanks Martin.

    I got this AT command to run and it runs successfully. It returned what I assume is millivolts. I have seen values of 4430, 4438, 4434. I am under the impression that a LiPo battery like the 1 connected to the thingy91 maxes out at 4.2 volts or 4200 millivolts. I'm not sure if I am looking at this correctly. I will try to drain the battery to see if I can get it under 4400 and report back. If I am missing something please let me know.

    Also I found a LiPo voltage to charge % relationship chart. If there is a more direct method of converting voltage into % charge please let me know.
