INA226 to measure battery voltage

Hello,
I would like to use the INA226 to measure a voltage of a battery that reaches about 42V. On the IC data sheet, it says that the maximum measuring voltage is 36V. Because of this I'm going to have some problem using this IC? Do you know how I can use the INA226 to measure a voltage greater than 36V?
Thank You

Hi,
I think you need to start a new thread for this, I have asked the moderator to repost it for you.

Hi,

Can you please tell us your electronics, programming, Arduino, hardware experience?

If you use the current part as low side sense then you could possibly put a potential divider on the voltage sense channel input, so the 266 voltage channel only receives 32V when you have 42V on the line you are measuring.
Then you re-scale back to 42V in software.

What is the application?
Can you post a basic circuit diagram, to show what you want to do?

I came to the same solution as Tom presented:

Use a low-side shunt with the common voltage at the connected Vin- and GND pins, and the shunt between Vin+ and GND.
Use a voltage divider between your supply voltage and GND, and connect its center to VBUS. Chose the division ratio so that the VBUS to GND voltage does never exceed 36V. Then divide the measured voltage and power by that ratio.
