Measuring Li-Po battery percentage?

Using Arduino Project Guidance
#1

I have an 3.7V Li-Po battery and I want to measure the percentage of it. How do I go about doing this?

#2

Try Google on "Monitoring a LiPo battery while powering the Arduino UNO with it".

If you mean the percentage charge remaining you can't without checking exactly how much current has gone in and out over time.

But for a rough estimate you can just read the voltage and look the charge percentage up in a table.

If you mean the percentage charge remaining you can’t without checking exactly how much current has gone in and out over time.

That way you would mimic what a phone is doing: it has the circuitry to constantly measure the current drawn from the battery, and that’s how it can estimate how much charge is left.

But for a rough estimate you can just read the voltage and look the charge percentage up in a table.

And that’s what a typical power bank is doing with its 3-4 LEDs to show the charge. That’s also the precision that method can reach.
