This register contains the most recently measured battery temperature in °C times 10 in a two's complement, signed
integer format. The value can be converted to °C by casting it to a floating-point and dividing the result by 10. The
temperature is measured on the TEMPSENSE pin via the external thermistor divider network. TELE_TBAT will report
temperatures between approximately –45°C to 65°C, but with slightly reduced accuracy outside of the –40°C to 60°C
range. The reset value of TELE_TBAT is 0x7FFF indicating that the temperature measurement has not been performed
yet. A value of 0x7777 indicates that the TEMPSENSE pin voltage is high enough to indicate that the battery has been
disconnected.
