ISS Battery.
« on: June 26, 2022, 03:16:44 PM »
Looking through the ISS manual and the console manual I don't see anywhere where you can access the current state of the ISS battery. Is this available anywhere or do I need to just pull it out and check voltage. I am having no issues just wondered what it was. I use both WL and Cumulus but they only offer console battery data.

The ISS battery status is available as a webtag if you are using Cumulus.  Search for txbattery at https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Webtags.

WL Window>Alarm & Battery Status shows the voltage of the Console Battery and the status of the 8 Stations if in use

Mattk just beat me to it, but to add further, it'll show which of the eight stations are in use, and say "Ok" or "Low" in red. No voltage is given, but I believe it's ~2.7 volts when triggering "Low", but don't quote me on that.
