# :battery: Battery status/level Usermod :battery:
|
|
Enables battery level monitoring of your project.
|
|
|
|
You can see the battery level and voltage in the `info modal`.
|
|
|
|
For this to work, the positive side of the (18650) battery must be connected to pin `A0` of the d1 mini/esp8266 with a 100k Ohm resistor (see [Useful Links](#useful-links)).
|
|
|
|
If you have an ESP32 board, connect the positive side of the battery to ADC1 (GPIO32 - GPIO39)

### Define Your Options
|
|
|
|
* `USERMOD_BATTERY_STATUS_BASIC` - define this (in `my_config.h`) to have this usermod included wled00\usermods_list.cpp
|
|
* `USERMOD_BATTERY_MEASUREMENT_PIN` - defaults to A0 on ESP8266 and GPIO32 on ESP32
|
|
* `USERMOD_BATTERY_MEASUREMENT_INTERVAL` - battery check interval. defaults to 30 seconds
|
|
* `USERMOD_BATTERY_MIN_VOLTAGE` - minimum battery voltage. default is 2.6 (18650 battery standard)
|
|
* `USERMOD_BATTERY_MAX_VOLTAGE` - maximum battery voltage. default is 4.2 (18650 battery standard)
|
|
|
|
All parameters can be configured at runtime via the Usermods settings page.
|
|
|
|
## Important :warning:
|
|
* Make sure you know your battery specifications! All batteries are **NOT** the same!
