Measure voltage and current of a battery

Hello everybody,

First of all, thank you to take time to read me, and to help me.

I use this schematic :

I want to measure the voltage of the battery and of the solar panel
But when I do the schematic in real, the regulator isn't switch on.
But when I plug the battery directly to the regulator, it worked, but I can't measure...

Does someone see a problem ?
Thank you very much for your precious help

Best regards, Nicolas

If your battery is already fully charged, the regulator will not add additional charge to the battery, which means there is NO more current drawn from the solar panel.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your answer
Ok, but why the regulator is not switch on if I plug the right part between the battery and the regulator ?
Is it because of the tension divisor bridge ?
I think it is correct to measure the tension of the battery with the Arduino (which is a 12V battery) ?

Why not just discharge the battery and then test?
