1. Set the values for Battery 1 in the indicated section (the values to enter are discussed in the following sections).
1. If you have a second battery, change the *Source* to "Battery Module" in the Battery 2 section and set the values in the same way as for Battery 1.

At time of writing *QGroundControl* only allows you to set values for battery 1 in this view.
For vehicles with multiple batteries you'll need to directly [set the parameters](../advanced_config/parameters.md) for battery 2 (`BAT2_*`), as described in the following sections.
