Battery Voltages in Dashboard

With ever more questions about the Dashboard...

I managed to get the two bytes used for the battery voltages to be displayed. Those bytes are nice, they give me a relative idea of how much power I have, but that's not all that useful.

I remember last year IFI had a little formula that was in the PBASIC code or the Dashboard spec sheet, I think, but I can't find it. It gave you the battery voltage based off of the binary number the dashboard port outputs.

If anyone has that formula, or has devised their own that works, care to share? The only formula I've made is off by too much to be useful
