This device has the option to be powered by battery or usb-c. The most common use case will likely be battery. However, I am not sure if it is possible to mark it as both. The device has a native 'battery type' entity that indicates AA for me. But this could potentially change value if usb-c power is provided.

Updated battery type to 'MANUAL' and removed battery quantity.

Hi, in these cases I set the battery type to manual, which means it won't auto discover and you can add it yourself.
I've had a lot of trouble with this scenario with doorbells and people submitting usb/battery and back again until I've seen what's going on.
Unfortunately when a device exposes a battery type it's not consistent so I can't pick that up automatically, it's just another sensor and sometimes with localised name, sometimes not, depending on integration, which is why I have to go with a manual type.
