| Excellent question. That's the one case I left out. I'm pretty sure it
| does, because I'm pretty sure that we do not check for battery brand.
|
| Any checking of battery brand would happen in software, where we can see
| it (and remove if desired).
|
| True, there is a chip that handles charging, but I'm pretty sure that
| battery brand is not one of the parameters we feed it. Perhaps one of
| the kernel people can confirm this.

Right, we are clueless what that battery is for charging purposes, it'll
give it a go charging it in a fairly adaptive way if the terminals line
up with the battery socket.
