}
void loop() {
  int batteryVoltage = analogRead(batteryPin);
  float voltageValue = (batteryVoltage  5.0) / 1024.0;
  voltageValue = voltageValue  (resistorValue / (resistorValue + resistorValue));
float batteryCapacity = (voltageValue - 3.0) / 0.1;  // Approximate capacity calculation
  Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
