Hi,
I built this circuit to charge 4AA NiMH batteries.
http://www.members.dca.net/kben/misc/buck.html
I want to check the voltage as I am charging, by
cutting the PWM, and using the ADC in sleep mode.
I plan on tying a resistor divider network between
the zener and the battery and gnd. Something like this

 Lsm345 | Battery - Gnd

        R (1K)

ADC PIN>>

        R (1K)

        Gnd
Question, will this create problems for the ADC pin when
charging the battery ?  Will the current/voltage feed
into the ADC pin and damage it ?  1K is not a lot of
protection. The highest current I will be charging at,
is 1Amp.  If it will damage the pin, any suggestions on
how to alter the circuit to protect it. I am using a
16F88 and the data sheet says max resistance on ADC
should be 2.5K not 10K like the 16F876.

Thanks for any help/suggestions!
Kevin
