Ack.

I wouldn't make this debug as it's pretty important information to be
reported. I'd be ok with having a single message listing all the quirks, but at
the same time I feel like this would be trying to fix a problem that we don't
know will ever exist (one SBS battery that has many quirks). I propose we keep
it the way it is - a nice clear message of what has happened - and adapt in the
future if it turns out to be too much information.

Thanks,
