Incorrect calculation of battery capacity. #174

Description

I'm fairly new to Inav, so this is probably due to pilot error, or a misunderstanding on my part...

I'm trying to figure out how it determines the reported battery level. It always starts off reporting something like 70% even with a freshly charged battery at 16.8V (4.2V/cell), and reports the battery being down to "critical level" (less than 10%) when it is barely below 15V.

I've tried adjusting the battery capacity through the configuration screen, but even when I lie and tell it that I have a much larger battery capacity than I really have, it doesn't seem to make much difference. Is there some other setting that I'm missing?

Maybe this is documented somewhere. If so, a pointer to the documentation would be helpful because I could not find anything in a search.
