I put Neverware chromeOS on a hardwired mini PC and it runs great except for the fact that it "discharges" and will shut down at 0%, requiring a hard reset to be able to reboot with "100% charge". The only battery inside is the CMOS battery. I go into /sys/class/power_supply and see axp288_fuel_gauge and hidpp_battery_0. The latter is the logitech keyboard/trackpad. The capacity and other info of axp288 makes me pretty sure this is the battery the OS is reading. How do I go about making a script to constantly write 100% charge values to /sys? Would that even fix the issue?

Is there a better way? I have tried other linux distros and have the same issue plus some.

Any help is appreciated.

If all else fails...

You need to find out what the "correct" values should be, then you can copy the files to a safe location.
The script could then copy the "safe" versions overwriting the /sys/... files.

You could set up (as root) a cron job which would run your script to do this.

Assuming it takes quite a while to detect a battery low condition, you could set the repeat interval to some sensible number of minutes?
