But why? If for such device property "no battery" is suitable, then for
me "monitored-battery" is suitable as well. IOW, if you say that having
a property describing batter is not a accurate hardware property here,
then neither saying "no battery" is, because no batter is basically some
sort of battery (just like empty set is still a set, empty array is
still an array).
