It compares the last full capacity and the remaining capacity (shown by 'cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state' ). So in this exemple, my battery's fully charged : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: 0 mA remaining capacity: 3456 mAh present voltage: 16576 mV [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info present: yes design capacity: 4000 mAh last full capacity: 3456 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 14800 mV design capacity warning: 420 mAh design capacity low: 156 mAh capacity granularity 1: 264 mAh capacity granularity 2: 3780 mAh model number: GC86508SAT0 serial number: battery type: Li-Ion OEM info: SANYO I've no other informations about it. Do you know a website about the battery state and Linux ? Maybe on http://acpi.sourceforge.net/ ... Detlev. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
