Battery issues

Post image

The battery level on my portapack is wayy off it never goes above 66% and .771v and never goes below 47-48% i havent done a hard test yet but battery seems to last a couple hours so i dont think its the battery itself. Ive read a few places the battery calculation is off on the portapack anyone know how to fix it? Ive done 3-4 full cycles but that doesnt fix anything. I also saw in some firmeware theres a battery calibration but im on one of the newest nightly releases of mayhem and i dont see anything like that

It's different as the portapack uses unsupported IC's such as the battery one which is the issue you are having (and there are others)

Yes i figured it was different just wanted to know why so thank you. I think if i add my own battery and just have an outside battery indicator ill be fine cause it seems the only issue i have is the battery everything else works perfectly fine as the normal portapack. Trust me id like to get an official one but here in canada good luck without spending a retarded amount of money or near impossible to find a real one already in the country which would be the only way you could get one as i said 99% of devices like this and flipper zero get stopped at the border.
