[TRACKING] Battery flipping between charging and discharging / Draws from battery even on AC

[Charlie_6]

@James3

You have to be careful making changes to the EC code. It only has about 5000 Bytes of free RAM space left, and all the code and data sits in RAM.

@Adrian_Joachim

We can help that by using closer to the actual limit of the charger instead of capping to 90%

Change 0.9 to 1, removing two bytes(or bits I’m terrible at binary)

@James3

If you use my “ectool”, what is the BMS telling you?
ectool battery 0 (Adding the zero adds some more details)

$ sudo ectool battery 0
