 The battery voltage rail (vdd_bat) is only able to be measured when the GSC is actually powered off of the battery.
 
-In some cases you can use the GSC to disable primary board power (referred to as 'GSC Sleep') for a few seconds in order to refresh the vdd_bat reading. In other cases some boards have a GSC_Backup regulator which powers the GSC from Vin even when the GSC has disabled the board's primary power to preserve the GSC battery life and those boards require the board's input power to be fully removed in order to read the GSC battery voltage.

Ventana only requires an off time of 3 seconds in order to read the battery. Newport however requires 35 seconds as it's lower power consumption is not guaranteed to consume the VCC capacitance until that time.
