Medion P6705 Big Sur struggles
As for not detecting the charger, your battery status probably isn't working properly. Have you tried ECEnabler?

Using Grub to Triple Boot on Legacy BIOS System
Sounds like your battery stopped working properly under macOS. Maybe you could try ECEnabler? If that doesn't work, Dortania's OpenCore Post-Install guide has a section on fixing battery read-outs on laptops. (Why trackpad detection and battery status are so intertwined, I do not know.)

Success - Acer C720-3404 with Core i3 (OpenCore Mojave and Big Sur).
I was happy to see the battery didn't have larger than 8-bit registers, so no battery ACPI patching required, yay. You just need to install SMCBatteryManager.kext
