+`charge_control_start_threshold` accepts an integer between 0 and 99 (inclusive).
+This value represents the battery percentage level below which charging will begin.
+
+`charge_control_end_threshold` accepts an integer between 1 and 100 (inclusive).
+This value represents the battery percentage level where charging will stop.
The exact semantics of the attributes may be found in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-power.
+Battery forced discharging
+--------------------------
+
+sysfs attribute:
+/sys/class/power_supply/BATx/force_discharge
+
+Setting this attribute to 1 forces the battery to discharge while AC is attached.
+Setting it to 0 terminates forced discharging.
+
+Battery charge inhibiting
+--------------------------
+
+sysfs attribute:
+/sys/class/power_supply/BATx/inhibit_discharge
+
+Setting this attribute to 1 stops charging of the battery as a manual override
+over the threshold attributes. Setting it to 0 terminates the override.
