How can I find out my firmware ver without rebooting into setup? Is
there some Linux tool to report this?
It looks like from
https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x140e/downloads/ds038561-bios-update-utility-bootable-cd-for-windows-10-81-8-64-bit-7-32-bit-64-bit-thinkpad-x140e?category=BIOS%2FUEFI
That the last update was 2020. And I SHOULD be able to create a boot
image to update the firmware.
But specifically for battery driver, all they have is a Windows exe.

This is not good!
BTW, why Battery 2? There is only one battery on this notebook (unless
you count the BIOS battery)
Is this a bug I should submit, or is there something I should install?
Update your firmware to the latest version before you go down a rabbit hole.
