+Description:
+               This file is writeable and can be used to set the current
+               coloumb counter value inside the battery monitor chip. This
+               is needed for unavoidable corrections of aging batteries.
+               A userspace daemon can monitor the battery charging logic
+               and once the counter drops out of considerable bounds, take
+               appropriate action.
