Cannot Read Tattu Smart Battery Data

I have a Cube Orange running the latest version of Ardupilot Quadrotor that i am trying to read data from a tattu battery from. I am using mission planner and have followed the Ardupilot guide on how to do this here

the wiring and setu have been done exactly as depicted in the guide but i still get no data when viewing mission planner status page.

I have not had any success with this method and have included a file of my current parameters below.

BATTERY.param (17.9 KB)

Not sure if this would help, but I would set:
BATT_SERIAL_NUM,1
Otherwise I cant see anything wrong with parameters.
Also try BRD_BOOT_DELAY,3000 which doesnt hurt to leave in place anyway.

You definitely have a 0v (ground) and 2 CAN wires right?

Be sure to set these too, they are definitely required for both safety and performance:

BATT_ARM_VOLT,66.50
BATT_CRT_VOLT,63.00
BATT_LOW_VOLT,64.80
BATT_FS_CRT_ACT,1
BATT_FS_LOW_ACT,2
MOT_BAT_VOLT_MAX,75.60
MOT_BAT_VOLT_MIN,59.40

Since this is a big copter be sure to work through all the initial parameters, tests and tuning process thoroughly. The Methodic Configurator will step you through this.
