Time Between Measurements

Once the battery voltage is measured, the ADC is disconnected from the pin which enables the resistor to charge back from the resistor divider. The time taken to charge back has to be again estimated from the RC charging equation.

V(t) = Vo + V x (1-e^(-t/RC)) where Vo is the voltage at the time of disconnecting the pin and V is the thevenin equivalent voltage.

For this example, assuming V(t) to reach within 1 LSB of the ADC code, and Vo to be 1.28 V.
