Pin 1 of chip U5 is also grounded through capacitor C18. Pin 5 of chip U5 is also grounded through capacitor C16. Pin 3 of chip U6 is also grounded through capacitor C10.

[0042] The key design feature of this utility model is that it mainly uses a single-cell power meter chip U6 to calculate the power of a dual-cell battery, which reduces product costs while meeting the requirement of accurate power calculation. In addition, a Zener diode is added to its sampling end to prevent overvoltage or high-voltage pulses from damaging the single-cell power meter chip U6 and extend the service life of the single-cell power meter chip U6.
