  Hello, I have been experiencing my rechargeable batteries draining quite fast – I think I bought a very small-capacity AAA type (1100 mAh). This causes my trains to start off fast and powerful but slow down to a crawl after an hour or so.
  
  Nevertheless, is there some indication coming from the PU Hub on the account of the battery voltage level? I noticed that the Hub flashes orange light (I could be mistaken) as the voltage becomes too low so perhaps the native communication protocol allows for this option.

  We are working on that for both MTC4BT and MTC4PF. The aim is to correct the train speed for decreasing battery power as long as possible.

  Great, thank you! Will it be possible to have a readout of battery voltage levels via RocRail (if there are hooks available) /MQTT / or Serial Port Monitor?
