That 2020 is just... Nipply.
In Other News...Testing with my DE-5000 indicates the battery gauge and LVC are quite compatible with 2 cell Lixx operation.
3-2 bars transition: 9.05V
2-1 bars transition: 8.25V
1-0 bars transition: 7.49V
Low Battery Cutoff:6.80V
And for those playing along at home... My checks of my 189, after a 30 minute warmup on the AD984:
10V: 10.003V
7V5: 7.503V
5V: 5.0017V
2V5: 2.5019V
And 0V5 vRef on the D5000 is 0.5003V. Close enough that I'm not gonna touch it.

I intend to be unbearably pleased with myself for at least the rest of the afternoon.
