[project](https://github.com/eigenmatt/mec-tools) we can use Lenovo's bootable
upgrade image, change it and create a bootable _USB_ image, with an EC update
that allows us to use any 3rd party aftermarket battery:
sudo apt-get install build-essential git mtools libssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec && cd thinkpad-ec
make patch_disable_keyboard clean
make patch_enable_battery clean
make patched.x230.img
That's it. You can create a bootable USB stick: `sudo dd if=patched.x230.img of=/dev/sdx`
and boot from it. Alternatively, burn `patched.x230.iso` to a CD. And make sure
you have "legacy" boot set, not "UEFI" boot.
upgrade image, change it and create a bootable _USB_ image (even with EC updates
that allows to use 3rd party aftermarket batteries). For this, follow instructions
at [github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec](https://github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec).
