Hello. I want to be able to measure voltage of a battery pack which exceeds 36v. To reduce voltage to the point where it could be measured with an ADC a voltage divider can be used.
If we assume one terminal of the battery pack is connected to ground, we can measure the open circuit voltage across each cell. This works because DMMs measure differential voltage, or the voltage potential at HI minus the voltage potential at LO.
The technique is to measure the voltage across high potential battery first, than against the lower ones and negating the subsequent batteries voltage from the one at higher potential. For example for the above circuit the measured voltage across battery-1 is 48v and battery-2 is 36v.
The amount of energy removed from the battery by the cap is more than the 160 nA that the analog input draws so the cap accomplishes nothing. If you use two 470 k resistors for the voltage divider, the total resistance across the battery is 940 k. If you had a 3.7v battery, the drain would 3.9 uA.
You can use any resistor value but they all should be of the same value, except for the resistors R13 and R14. These two resistors form a potential divider to measure the pack voltage of the battery so that we can compare it with the sum of measured cell voltages. Rail to Rail, high voltage Op-Amp
This testing can be a bottleneck in the manufacturing process, so test solutions that reduce time or increase test density are highly desirable. One of the most useful measurements for a battery cell or pack is the open circuit voltage (OCV), but the considerations that must be made at the module or pack level differ from the cell level.

The technique is to measure the voltage across high potential battery first, than against the lower ones and negating the subsequent batteries voltage from the one at higher potential. For example for the above circuit the measured voltage across battery-1 is 48v and battery-2 is 36v. Negating 48v-36v=12v gives us battery-1 voltage. Similarly ...

proper voltage divider for battery voltage detection
If you use two 470 k resistors for the voltage divider, the total resistance across the battery is 940 k. If you had a 3.7v battery, the drain would 3.9 uA. That is 1/254th of 1 mA so an 1100 mAh battery would last
proper voltage divider for battery voltage detection
The solution (and resistor values) depends on the battery/voltage you want to measure. Yes, this is obvious. I think I would probably split the difference and go with something in between 100k and 1M, like maybe 470 k to 560 k, but the 1M is still not a bad choice. arusr July 20, 2016, 2:02pm 6.

How to measure battery voltage from a microcontroller
The default reference is the power supply. You can use an external reference, and divide the battery voltage to something below that reference, but that puts a constant drain on the battery which might not be a good idea. My answer would be: get a shunt-type reference for a voltage that is lower than the battery range of interest. Let''s assume ...
