This doesn't look good, it's not a problem, but I wonder whether the
kernel here oopsed.

Here we are. In order to protect you from deep discharge, frameworkd
these days shuts down the battery, if the capacity is too low. If that
is not wanted, remove the rule that does it from rules.yaml.

Mike, do you think it would be possible to introduce a variant of your
power supply class for GTA02 that works with non-CC-batteries?
