Thanks, so it is the same as what I see.
Somewhere they wrote suported OSes are displaying also keyboard's battery.

However, so far I have only found one keyboard-related module which does not seem to provide any information about battery...

I don't know, it depends on actual PCB traces but I hope they are thick enough.
I would think it should work and so far it works for me.

So the batteries charge when the phone is suspended but not while the phone is in use. I think that I will try changing the battery charging current as per your post to see if the battery charges when the phone is in active use.

This is because phone needs aproximately all of the supplied 500 mA of current to work, so practically it can not really charge the battery if that is the limit while phone needs less energy when it is suspended and it allows battery to charge.
