Today I was curious to see how the X6100 internal battery voltage and charge vary over time when charging the battery from almost empty to full.
?
Since those values are available on the second serial port from the STM32 MCU (which can be accessed as '/dev/ttyACM1' on my Linux desktop), I wrote a simple Python scipt to monitor those values and write them to file along with a timestamp.
I then ran a full charge for about 9 hours from about 8am to past 5pm; during that charge the LED next to the power button was always solid green (it was never blinking, and honestly I don't really think it matters as long as it is on).
?
After that, I wrote another Python script to plot the battery voltage (in mV) and charge (in mAh) for the duration of the charge:

The Python scripts I wrote are attached in case someone wants to report what they see with their battery.
