The ACPI specification says that bit 3 inside the battery state
signals that the battery is in charge limiting state. In this state,
the platform limits the battery from reaching its full capacity, the
exact limit is platform-specific.
This might explain why a number of batteries reported a "Unknown"
battery state in the past when using platform-specific interfaces to
stop battery charging at a user defined level.
Unfortunately not all platforms set this bit in such cases, so
"non-charging" is still the default state when the battery is neither
charging, discharging or full.
Tested on a Lenovo Ideapad S145-14IWL.
