The VEMS needs to know battery voltage so it can scale the injector pulsewidth and coil charge times appropriately.
Look at the volt meter in megatune and compare this to the reading from a multimeter across the battery.  The battery calibration is to adjust the voltage reading - 187 should be about right, so it's most likely safe to not worry too much.

david,

cheers.

Yes i gathered it must have been something like that, had already checked it and it was within 0.25v of the true reading.

was just making sure.
