One observation I had is that, despite not reflecting the selected value
anywhere (when set to 80%, say), after re-opening the dialog or checking the
files and witnessing it to have reverted, the 80% limit does appear to
nonetheless be respected/enacted.  Charging stops at the selected limit.

Overwriting the stop/end files appears to succeed, but then the files
immediately get re-overwritten with the lower value.

Overwriting the start/control_start files apparently succeeds, with the
side-effect that all three of the other charge limit files appear to get
overwritten with whatever value was pushed into the first one.
