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.
