It might be a few days before I start checking it because I'm kind of busy right now.

A new cvar:
After the player shoves (without hitting anything), recharges the battery.

About safe room transitions:
The game actually progresses so fast that I don't see any need for the battery to be replenished in the safe room.
You can set the power of the battery or adjust the flashing frequency of the flashlight by adjusting the related cvar.

If you still want it, I'd add a cvar.

Add:
Maybe give the player an optional battery initialization in the safe room, with the value of the battery level controlled by a new set of cvars (less battery range?).

You can try my version of this plugin (many potential issues fixed there).

Regardless of the value of "l4d2_RealismFlashLight_PowerEnabled".

Players cannot turn on the flashlight.

1.2 (Feb-09-2023)
        - The plugin now uses a new way to initialize the battery and check the client's correspondence with the character every server frame, This fixes some issues caused by players idle or changer characters.
        - Fixed "Exception reported: Entity X (X) is invalid" being thrown when a player joins a server.Thanks to "sonic155" for reporting.
        - New feature: hold down "duck + shove" or "shove" buttons to charge the battery. Requested by "sonic155".
        - New feature: Optionally limit survivor bots' flashlights and batteries as well, and set how quickly they drain.
        - New Cvars: l4d2_RealismFlashLight_Bot, l4d2_RealismFlashLight_Bot_Buff, l4d2_RealismFlashlight_Charge,l4d2_RealismFlashlight_Charge_Key, l4d2_RealismFlashlight_Charge_Second.
        - Add console commands: sm_rfl_view  sm_rfl_set, Use them to view and set the character's flashlight battery status.
        - Various changes to the code.

// If the value of 'l4d2_RealismFlashLight_Bot_Buff' is 1, what button is used to charge?
//  0 = Shove only, 1 = Shove + Duck.
// -
// Default: "1"
l4d2_RealismFlashlight_Charge_Key "1"
