I2C bus error pytrack read_battery_voltage()

[chvl]

The pytrack regularly gives an i2c bus error when reading the battery voltage with the function "read_battery_voltage ()".
The firmware of the pytrack read out with "read_fw_version ()" returns 8

The information about the version of the pyncom that I retrieve with "os.uname ()" is:
[0] LoPy4
[1] LoPy4
[2] 1.17.5.b6
[3] v1.8.6-849-56d00234 on 2018-05-18
[4] LoPy4 with ESP32
[5] 1.0.2

I have the same issue with bus errors on battery read so I use a 'try' 'except' to catch the error and I limit my battery check to something reasonable - like every 10 minutes
eg:

batt_check_interval = 600 # check the battery voltage every 10 minutes

def readBattery():
    global vBatt
    global last_batt_check
    global batt_check_interval
    if(utime.time() - last_batt_check > batt_check_interval):
        try:
            vBatt = pytrack.read_battery_voltage()
            # keep track of time since last battery check
            last_batt_check = utime.time()
            print ('Battery read: ' + str(vBatt))
            if (vBatt < lowBatt):
                # do more here
                print ('Battery voltage: LOW')

        except Exception as e:
            print ('Battery read: ERROR')
            return
    return
