Hi,
looking at this bug report:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215799
I had an occasion to look at the way it registers the charger.
In particular:
.type = POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE_BATTERY,
That seems kind of wrong. It does not contain a battery, does it? The
type seems to confound user space. Is there some deeper reason? If not
how about the attached patch? Regards Oliver

This is a charger, not a battery.
