Hm, if the TPs are easily reachable i'd say that measuring voltage
over them is fairly easy. I don't think the guys working on suspend
consumption issues would need more. Also the kind of battery
receptable for BL-5C is very convenient to hook up an external PSU to
(even without soldering) so that's not really a problem as well.

The question is if in fact everybody needs precise data. Gta02 shows
that's not the case, at least that's how i see it. Both for end-users
and for app developer. And for me personally battery accessibility (i
can go to the nearest shop and buy a BL-6C in no time and for a fairly
low price) is far more important than accurate readings.

So let's wait and see what other folks say.
