It isn't.  The SBS firmware reports the cell temperature, not the
charger temperature.

It doesn't tell me if Lenovo did something in Windows to avoid the 50C
reading, or if it is yet another Linux ACPICA versus Lenovo ACPI BIOS
issue.  The new Lenovo BIOS can get *really* pissed at whatever we do in
ACPI, sometimes.

Examples are your *61 draining itself to battery shutdown when it is
supposed to be off.  That's not just a BIOS bug.

So, yes, I still need the Windows angle.
