power - microcontroller low battery indicator


I am powering a board and circuit with a 9V battery (those alkaline ones). And I would like to read the 9V battery to keep track of how much power it has left. I have read that I can do this with a voltage divider since most ADC input on uCs take 5V max. That's good but wouldn't the voltage divider itself draw power and make the battery drain faster? I am not going to constantly measure battery level.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
