Hi Pavel,
frequently it can read from the chip. And no hardware monitoring chip I
know of can tell when the monitored value has changed - you have to read
the chip registers to know.
ACPI battery can tell when values change in significant way. (Like
battery becoming critical).
Ah, good to know. But is there a practical use for this? I'd suspect
that the user wants to know the battery charge% all the time anyway,
critical or not.
