Calling all statistics fans! My pwrctl-local makes a note of some info from /proc/pmu/battery_0 whenever a power event happens, thereby providing some guaranteed-to-be-interesting[1] stats on an iBook's power consumption and battery performance: http://www-stu.cai.cam.ac.uk/~egs21/iBook-battery-log.gz Note how my max_charge has dropped from 3404 to 2874. Should I be alarmed or is this just the PMU giving me dodgy statistics? (It does seem odd how max_charge only drops when the battery is emptied.) Ed [1] Not a guarantee :)
