FYI I tested this on Linux with a BT-2 connected to three batteries (daisy-chained) and was able to pull values.

I also tested on Linux with a BT-2 connected to a 60A Rover, and was able to pull values.

Tested (successfully) BatteryClient and RoverClient on Windows 10.

Did you see any stability improvements in long term compared to main version?

Did you see any stability improvements in long term compared to main version?

I haven't done any long term testing; just a few minutes on each platform. I can do so (for one at a time, at least) through next week though.

That said, it seemed solid so far. On main, I get errors probably 3/10 or more times I try to read. Now that I have error tracking, I can get more precise data on that (including with the bleak branch.)
