@misterc BME is responsible for control of the charging process. Modern battery chargers have different algorithms, based on what sensor inputs(timers, temperature, current/voltage fluctuation etc...) are used to determine and apply the parameters in real time.

In a laptop, that process is usually not within the operating system, but in mobile devices vendors use simpler batteries, and the control is delegated to the software for two reasons:

• price
• size

I would like to explore the possibility of implementing open source alternative to stock bme. It does not need to outperform the Nokia bme.
