I apologize if this has already been covered. I searched the forum but couldnt find a reference to it.
If I turn on 'display voltage' in the Go4 menu on my iPad Mini 2 (wifi), the main screen only show's 4.xx vdc instead of the expected 12.xx vdc. When viewing the battery menu, i see all 3 cells and a total of 12.xx volts, but on the main display it only shows 4.xx. Has anyone else seen this on iOS? It seems like the app is calling only 1 cell's data to display instead of the total. From videos and screenshots I've seen, it appears Android devices display the correct value.

If nobody else has seen this, it sounds like I may have an issue?

Last call....Bueller? Buelller??  Let me ask it a different way. Can somebody who has an iPad or iPhone tell me if they are getting the CORRECT voltage reading?

In iOS, Correct me if I'm wrong, it shows the weakest cell of the three cells. There's always the percentage of the battery on the main screen but you can set the "set voltage on main screen" in the battery menu.

Samsung S7 edge. It's always been the lowest cell voltage on mine.  Something I actually prefer, as it allows me to keep an eye on the weakest cell in the pack...

That's right! It has to be showing the lowest cell's voltage. And always remember to never allow any of the cells to go lower that 3.6V during flight, since this will deteriorate the battery fairly quick.

Thanks Y'all! That's extremely helpful! I expected to see the cumulative voltage, it never occurred to me 'weakest cell'. Good to know.

On the main app display it shows the voltage of the lowest cell.
