Is this a sub-node of the twl4030 or something? Please define where
this fits (hint: I would expect to be a sub node of a charging
controller or battery monitor).

These seem like properties of the battery independent of the
battery/charging controller which is the twl4030. Ideally we would
define battery nodes generically and independent of the charge
controllers. Then there are smart batteries to consider too.
