Has anyone had any experience using a PIC's internal A/D to monitor its own battery supply? My application will use one of the little PICs 12F675 or 16f676, but information about others would be useful. The part I'm having a hard time wrapping my noodle around is, what do I use for a reference voltage? This could be a high volume device, so cost is a concern. But I don't need a high degree of precision, 4 or 5 bits would be fine. I just need an approximation of battery health.
