Description
Closes #428
Improve error handling when initializing the BQ27441 without a battery connected.
The BQ27441 is powered by the battery, so when no battery is connected the device is not available on the I2C bus. Previously, initialization resulted in an unclear
OSError: [Errno 19] ENODEV.The driver now checks whether the BQ27441 is present on the I2C bus before initialization and raises a clearer error:
BQ27441 not detected at I2C address 0x55. Make sure a battery is connected.Changes
