Description:
- Represents the type of charging currently being applied to the
- battery. "Trickle", "Fast", and "Standard" all mean different
- charging speeds. "Adaptive" means that the charger uses some
- algorithm to adjust the charge rate dynamically, without
- any user configuration required. "Custom" means that the charger
- uses the charge_control_* properties as configuration for some
- different algorithm. "Long Life" means the charger reduces its
- charging rate in order to prolong the battery health. "Bypass"
- means the charger bypasses the charging path around the
- integrated converter allowing for a "smart" wall adaptor to
- perform the power conversion externally.
+ Select the charging algorithm to use for a battery.
+
+ Standard:
+ Fully charge the battery at a moderate rate.
+ Fast:
+ Quickly charge the battery using fast-charge
+ technology. This is typically harder on the battery
+ than standard charging and may lower its lifespan.
+ Trickle:
+ Users who primarily operate the system while
+ plugged into an external power source can extend
+ battery life with this mode. Vendor tooling may
+ call this "Primarily AC Use".
+ Adaptive:
+ Automatically optimize battery charge rate based
+ on typical usage pattern.
+ Custom:
+ Use the charge_control_* properties to determine
+ when to start and stop charging. Advanced users
+ can use this to drastically extend battery life.
+ Long Life:
+ The charger reduces its charging rate in order to
+ prolong the battery health.
+ Bypass:
+ The charger bypasses the charging path around the
+ integrated converter allowing for a "smart" wall
+ adaptor to perform the power conversion externally.
Access: Read, Write
+ Reading this returns the current active value, e.g. 'Standard'.
+ Check charge_types to get the values supported by the battery.

+Description:
+ Identical to charge_type but reading returns a list of supported
+ charge-types with the currently active type surrounded by square
+ brackets, e.g.: "Fast [Standard] Long_Life".
+
+ power_supply class devices may support both charge_type and
+ charge_types for backward compatibility. In this case both will
+ always have the same active value and the active value can be
+ changed by writing either property.
+
+ Note charge-types which contain a space such as "Long Life" will
+ have the space replaced by a '_' resulting in e.g. "Long_Life".
+ When writing charge-types both variants are accepted.
