Here, the intention is to cover the scenario where a battery has no internal
thermistor, and cannot provide temperature readings to the DA9150 device. In
that scenario I've allowed for the option of providing an external function
which can give the temperature reading instead as DA9150 will not be able to
provide a correct reading in that scenario. This would be platform dependent and
such a platform using a battery not employing an NTC in their battery can
register its own call-back function to provide battery temperature instead.

So, in answer to your question, yes.
