### Battery check:
-Blinks out the battery voltage per cell. Full is 4.2V, empty is
-about 3.0V. The light blinks the whole-number digit first, pauses,
-then blinks out the "tenths" digit. Then a longer pause, and it
-repeats.
-So for 4.2V, it would be "blink-blink-blink-blink .. blink-blink".
+Blinks out the battery voltage per cell. Full is 4.20V, empty is
+about 3.00V. The light blinks the whole-number digit first, pauses,
+then blinks out the "tenths" digit, pauses, then blinks out the "hundredths"
+digit, in 0.02V steps. So for 4.16V, it would be "4 blinks, 1 blink,
+6 blinks". Then if it is in Advanced UI, it pauses for a bit longer and
+repeats. In Simple UI, it turns off after one readout.
A "zero" digit is represented by a very quick blink.
+The battery check format has changed a few times:
+
+ - For Anduril 2 from 2024-04 or later, the battery voltage resolution is
+ 0.02V steps (the last digit can be 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).
+
+ - For Anduril 2 from 2023-12 or later, the battery voltage resolution is
+ 0.025V steps (the last digit can be 0, 2, 5, or 7).
+
+ - For Anduril 2 from 2023-12 or earlier, the battery voltage resolution is
+ 0.1V, so the light blinks the whole-number digit first, pauses, then blinks
+ out the "tenths" digit. Then a longer pause, and it repeats.
+
+ - On old attiny85 lights with only 8 KiB of ROM, battery voltage resolution
+ is 0.1V, even on newer versions of Anduril.
+
On lights with more than one set of LEDs, pressing `3C` during batt
check mode can select which set of LEDs (which channel mode) it uses
to blink out numbers.
