inconsistent battery level with analog pin

Projects General Guidance
1

So I use the following function to get the battery level of my 18650 battery with an arduino pro mini 3.3V. I've got 2 x 10k resistors in series between the + & - of the battery with A0 connected to the middle of the two resistors. For some reason the reading fluctuates and isn't anywhere near accurate. I've tried using a lower resistance (5.1k) and still had the same problem. Any ideas?

int batteryLevel(){
    int sensorValue = analogRead(batteryPin); //read the A0 pin value
    float voltage = sensorValue * (3.3 / 1023.00) * 2; //convert the value to a true voltage.
    voltage = voltage * 100; //so that it prints as an int without decimal places
    return voltage;
}

Do you have connected grounds? What data do you read?

The need for this seems rather strange

voltage = voltage * 100; //so that it prints as an int without decimal places

If you don't need decimal places why not do all the maths as integers - it will be much faster. For example

long voltage = sensorValue * 330 * 2  / 1023;
