[solved] Thinkpad T430 battery charge thresholds

Seems like Thinkpad T430 isn't supported by tp_smapi - is there any other way to get battery charge thresholds (as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tp_smapi)?
Are there any efforts to add support to tp_smapi?

I use tpacpi-bat from the AUR on my Thinkpad T530 and it works fine. Make sure you install linux-headers and acpi_call-git first. And for acpi_call-git, read the top comment about modifying the PKGBUILD; I had to remove the lines regarding the x86_64 patch in order for it to build with the current version. You may also have to reinstall acpi_call-git every time your kernel updates.
