  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  int vbatReading = analogRead(VBAT_PIN);
  float vbatVoltage = (vbatReading  5.0) / 1024.0; // Convert reading to voltage
  Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
  Serial.print(vbatVoltage, 2);
  Serial.println("V");

```
In this example, we connect the 11.1V 5500mAh Lipo Battery to the Arduino board's voltage input pin (Vin) through a voltage regulator (e.g., LM1117-5V) to regulate the voltage to 5V. We then use the Arduino's built-in analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to monitor the battery voltage and print it to the serial console.
