Symptom or error
Error: The non-volatile system UEFI variable storage is
nearly full.
Note: This error indicates that the operating system
or applications cannot create, modify, or delete data
in the non-volatile system UEFI variable storage due to
insufficient storage space after the POST.
The non-volatile system UEFI variable storage is used
by the UEFI BIOS and by the operating system or
applications. This error occurs when the operating system
or applications store large amounts of data in the variable
storage. All data needed for the POST, such as BIOS
setup settings, chipset or platform configuration data, are
stored in a separate UEFI variable storage.
The battery installed is not supported by this system

continue to boot, but may not charge unauthorized
