It looks like there is an I2C operation region that the AML code uses to
handle the battery specific things:

    Scope (_SB.I2C1)
    {
        Name (UMPC, ResourceTemplate ()
        {
            I2cSerialBus (0x0048, ControllerInitiated, 0x000186A0,
                AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.I2C1",
                0x00, ResourceConsumer, ,
                )
        })
        Name (AVBL, Zero)
        Method (_REG, 2, NotSerialized)  // _REG: Region Availability
        {
            If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x09))
            {
                Store (Arg1, AVBL)
            }
        }

        OperationRegion (DVUM, GenericSerialBus, Zero, 0x0100)

Unfortunately this is not supported in Linux yet.
