I'm just trying to clarify if this is beautification or has any functional 
dependencies. From your words, there doesn't seem to be a standard for reporting 
battery technology among battery vendors, so there will always be some creative 
spellings HAL won't recognize. If that merely means that some GUI shows me 
"unknown technology" or something, that's fine. OTOH, if there's program logic 
based on this property and unrecognized technology means loss of functionality 
to me, then we're getting ourselves into trouble by creating an illusion of 
order in an inherently chaotic system.
