Correctly Measure Battery Level - MAX17048 (ESP32 + Arduino series)

Battery-powered IoT projects require you to monitor your battery's percentage. Measuring battery voltage is not ideal, because the voltage doesn't drop linearly.

Fuel gauges are a better alternative. They work straight away, don't consume power while in standby, and they're accurate without any calibration!
