Wouldn't it be enough to just display an UEFI boot message to notify users when non-original battery is detected?
- yoshamano 11y agoNot when brand security is your concern. A user could put a Lo Pan Six Demon Bag battery in their laptop and then it bursts into flames. The user is going to complain that their Lenovo laptop burst into flames. Everyone else is going to parrot that statement because almost no one looks into anything anymore. Once someone does dig into it and find out that it was actually the shoddy Lo Pan battery, its too late. "Lenovo" and "third degree burns" has been plastered all over the Internet and good luck finding Lo Pan to hold him accountable.
