Thanks. What core module version(s) do you have?

The grey limited edition and the one with PSRAM (both performing the same)

Hi, i was going to make around the same estimate of approx 3 hrs for the add-on battery module.... I had around same results as DoNcK with standard internal battery.... roughly 35 mins just sitting with menu program running on the M5... haven't tested the battery module....but it seems to last quite a long time. I def recommend it.

Of course longer times will be possible using various power saving options....

Here's a pic with the battery module dimensions... not much space there !

Thanks. What core module version(s) do you have? Let me know what you experience on the 850 mAh after testing it. Also, if you could provide the internal dimensions of the area where the battery would go inside the battery module, that would be great. Curious if a larger mAh battery could fit in there.

Running in the same conditions, I think the 850 should run for ~3 hours approximately.
I ordered one but I cannot confirm yet.

However, in Config.h we have this definition:

[code]#define LORA_IRQ_PIN 36[/code]

That would conflict with the reading of the battery charge, no?

While using LoRa, I am reading ADC1_CH7 and ADC1_CH0. Here's what I get.

ADC1_CH7: 0 0.00
ADC1_CH0: 346 0.71

The value for ADC1_CH7 is always 0. The value for ADC1_CH0 goes up and down. Weird.
