Added

  • Added battery_percent_rechargeable sensor to provide a more realistic
    battery level estimation for rechargeable batteries (e.g. NiMH).
  • The new sensor derives remaining charge from pack voltage and is intended
    for monitoring and automations when using rechargeable cells.
  • Existing battery_percent sensor continues to reflect the vendor/device
    battery percentage logic.

Changed

  • Clarified separation between vendor-reported battery percentage and
    voltage-based rechargeable battery estimation.
