Hi, I'm working with the development kit, I need a way to measure the battery level based on the attached circuit.
Can I connect the battery terminals directly to a ADC converter?

Jordan,

If the maximum voltage measured by your 5V sourced PSoC is 4V or less, you can directly measure the battery voltage across the + and - terminals.  Although I would highly recommend at least a 1K series resistance in each terminal being measured.

If your PSoC is 3.3V, you would probably need a voltage divider to scale down the voltage to about 0.6V lower than the supply to the PSoC.
