This depends on the hardware. With Lenovo Thinkpads the i2c (aka SMBus) of the
battery is connected to the
embedded controller only (H8S in older models), which also controls charging
and is powered as soon as the
DC power supply is attached.
I guess you don't want more control over the battery but over the charger, e.g.
to implement upper and lower limits for
the battery charge.
