Currently we measure the voltage from battery directly. If using coulomb 
counter battery, we should get the reading from battery itself. 
Currently battery do not set any parameter yet, so the reading might be 
incorrect.

But eventually, we should read the parameter directly from the battery 
via HDQ.
