There was a bug discovered with the PIC18F8722 based robot controllers used since 2006. One of the symptoms of the bug is that the voltage will read 8.2 or 8.3 volts regardless of the actual battery voltage. Can you please check to see if this is happening with your controller? Would it be possible for you to zip up your build directory and send it to me?
