We have the APM connected to the GPS/Mag ONLY. No other connections, input or outpu

Years of RC experience has taught me that when it comes to props, less pitch means less speed, and more thrust (and vica versa)
When electrics came around things changed a bit, because BL motors can produce all the torque at almost any rpm

I see the Max input voltage of the current sensor is 18V.
Any recommendations how I can monitor a 6S pack with the APM in Mission planner?
