Hello, for me it first looks like this:

POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=hid-28bd-935-battery
POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Battery
POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1
POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE=1
POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=Hanvon Ugee Deco LW
POWER_SUPPLY_SCOPE=Device

Then it looks like this for a very brief (or not so brief) period of time, it also isn't always there, i suggest trying plugging it in multiple times:

POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=hid-28bd-935-battery
POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Battery
POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1
POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE=1
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=160
POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=Hanvon Ugee Deco LW
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Discharging
POWER_SUPPLY_SCOPE=Device

Here value is 160, obvious garbage, it can have any other value depending on your luck.

And then after that it looks like this:

POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=hid-28bd-935-battery
POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Battery
POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1
POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE=1
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=40
POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=Hanvon Ugee Deco LW
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Discharging
POWER_SUPPLY_SCOPE=Device

But i also currently applied this ^ patch, i will try testing without it and then report.
