smbios-battery-ctl --get-charging-cfg on Dell Inspiron 7737

[p2004r]

It looks like I have the latest version of the utility.

$ sudo smbios-sys-info

Libsmbios version: 2.4.3

Product Name: Inspiron 7737

Vendor: Dell Inc.

BIOS Version: A10

....

But the query returns strange battery status

$ sudo smbios-battery-ctl --get-charging-cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/sbin/smbios-battery-ctl", line 143, in get_charging_mode
raise RunTimeBatteryErr(
main.RunTimeBatteryErr: Multiple charging modes enabled: adaptive and express enabled at the same time

Trying to change the charging status does not change anything.

I couldn't find a similar problem by searching. I ask for your help. I am changing the third battery in the laptop. Without a storage mode, they do not live long. :(

I ran in the old version of python and some of the errors are fixed.

However, it is not possible to change the values of the tokens.
