If you're using the CTRE Battery Beak, use the % or voltage at whatever the highest load is (18A?). That should give you a better idea of what it will actually run at during driving.
I'll check the battery again as soon as I can, probably in 30 minutes. The battery tested at 95% that morning before we started, if that helps at all.
