Hi ModalTB,
I was able to resolve the issue looking deeper into QGroundControl. I had set the system to HITL after following your awesome tutorial:

To fix this, I switched the system back to "Generic Quadcopter" in order to receive battery data.
Thank you for your through response. It helped me to resolve this.
Best Regards,
Justin
