Same issue here, with a Lolin Wemos C3 Pico and a 1000mah LIPO.  
Bridged the battery status for GPIO 3.  
Battery level also shows 95%, Invalid V.

Build 2303240, env ESP32-C3 v4.4.2 (0)

usermod options:

```auto
  -D USERMOD_BATTERY
  -D USERMOD_BATTERY_MEASUREMENT_PIN=3
  -D USERMOD_BATTERY_USE_LIPO
  -D USERMOD_BATTERY_TOTAL_CAPACITY=1000
  -D USERMOD_BATTERY_AUTO_OFF_ENABLED=true
  -D USERMOD_BATTERY_AUTO_OFF_THRESHOLD=20

```

Sim issue with battery usermod here with MM\_XL on an esp32-wroom-32u running v0.14.0-b15.21 “Lupo”

invalid %  
invalid V

I got a 100k resister from the battery + to pin 35 as outlined in the mm guide [Usermod Battery - WLED MoonModules Project](https://mm.kno.wled.ge/usermods/Battery/)

It’s such a killer feature just wish I could figure it out…

It does work , try another build not the XL or try other ADC pins

If you tried other build and pins and it did not work then post a clear pic of your MCU might be we have the same

Also having the same issue on a modified vanilla Hoshi build. Tried GPIO pins 32 & 35: no difference there
