Returns the current battery voltage. If no battery is connected, returns 3.7V

Returns the current battery charging state.

# Power to the on-board Dotstar is controlled by a PNP transistor, so low is ON and high is OFF

# The reason we have power control for the Dotstar is that it has a quiescent current of around 1mA, so we
# need to be able to cut power to it to minimise power consumption during deep sleep or with general battery powered use
# to minimise unneeded battery drain
