I am currently using the BattAnalog Widget with a plane equipped with an 8S Lipo (4.20 volts max per cell)
When I install a charged 8S battery, the program detects it correctly, and shows approx 33.54v total and 4.19v per cell.

In flight, especially under load, if the battery drops below approx 30.0v total or 3.75v per cell.
The widget immediately changes and now detects the battery incorrectly as a 7S Lipo and showing over 4.2v per cell.
Can the cell count detection only be run on the initial startup and after detection then be bypassed or ignored?
Or could you add an option to manually set the cell count in the widget setup?

Thanks for sharing these very useful scripts!!! - Rich

I'm also using your /SCRIPTS/MIXES/cell.lua script and it also has the same problem changing cell count as the voltage drops.
As a work around, that script has the option to manually set the cell count.
Then I'm using Logical Switches to trigger Special Functions to Play Track, Play Value for low and critical battery alerts.

indeed when using a higher voltage, the auto detection is becoming problematic
I used to have a version of the widget with detection on the start, but there was a lot of problem with that.
in the next version of edgeTx, we will have more than 5 options per widget,
then I can add a flag to choose the correct (non auto) count of cell
lets keep this bug open until ver 2.11

Thanks for the update and plans for a fix after version 2.11 is released.
I didn't realize a widget was currently limited to a max of 5 options.

Thanks Again - Rich
