Does VMware virtualization support virtual battery emulation?

Is it now possible to emulate a virtual battery for testing? Like the ability to set SOC, draining rate, etc.

I know there is a similar functionality called Report Battery Information in the Guest in VMware Workstation or Show the Mac Power Supply Status in the Virtual Machine in VMware Fusion, if run on a notebook or MacBook. But this isn't that flexible, because if we run on desktop or using ESXi, this functionality isn't available.

Also, there is similar feature request here: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Feature-request-Emulate-a-notebook-with-bat.... But there isn't any updates...

You can use Microsoft SimBatt for Windows OS in a VM. You can set low battery charge condition. You can toggle between DC (battery) and AC (plugged-in) power. It works for verifying all your power scenarios in a VM. I can't believe nobody else responded.
