that doesn't answer the question of whether there's a way to tell that their battery is limited to 80% on hardware level, though.

Unless it's lying about the voltage itself, you can be pretty sure it's not limited if it charges to 4.35V. 4.2 is a little more tricky if you don't know for sure whether 4.2 is the full voltage for the cell.
