Add: - trickle-charge-current-microamp: Some chargers have 3 charging stages. First one when battery is almost empty is often called as trickle-charge. Last state when battery has been "woken up" is usually called as fast-charge. In addition to this some chargers have a 'middle state' which ROHM BD99954 data-sheet describes as pre-charge. Some batteries can benefit from this 3-phase charging [citation needed]. Introduce trickle-charge-current-microamp so that batteries can give charging current limit for all three states. - precharge-upper-limit-microvolt: When battery voltage has reached certain limit we change from trickle-charge to next charging state (pre-charge for BD99954). Allow battery to specify this limit. - re-charge-voltage-microvolt: Allow giving a battery specific voltage limit for chargers which can automatically re-start charging when battery has discharghed down to this limit. - over-voltage-threshold-microvolt Allow specifying voltage threshold after which the battery is assumed to be faulty.
