Hi, I have a drone project that I'm building with a Raspberry Pi Pico W and I need an advice on how to monitor and charge the battery as I have no experience with this part.
I will be using and 11.1 V (3S 1800mAh 30C) battery and I need a circuit (I don't what it's called) that will tell my rpi the voltage of the battery at any moment and the current as well if it can. I found some components online for this but I am not sure which specifications are the most important.
The other question is how to properly charge the battery. If it's 11 V, is a 15 V charger adapter enough or do I also need a component that limits the current and overcharging?
Thanks a lot in advance
