Yes, those should comply to the ACPI smart battery section of the
specification. Unfortunately, it's not a simple matter to write a
driver to that interface. Linux is still working on this as well. I
don't have the time to write the driver but if someone with the ability
wants to do the effort, I'd be happy to give pointers for how to
interface with our SMBUS subsystem.
