The Accu-Pack does not have a chip which do this but the Laptop.

Ther is the UVP  (Under Voltage Protection)  active.  To  get  the  full
capacity of the Accu-Pack you have to MAXIMAL charge and  discharge  the
Accu-Pack several times (the Laptop must shutdown from self)

Such electronic is the last crap, but it ensures the  Accu-Pack  is  not
patial charged and goes down before the regular end of livetime.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
