Fn+F2 should toggle the battery charging on and off. I believe that this
works fine and even updates the battery driver appropriately - we
probably just need to update dell-wmi not to emit a warning in that
case.

Fn+F3 should end up sending KEY_BATTERY, and your userspace should use
that to display battery information.
So other than the warning generated by dell-wmi, I think this all works
as expected?
