I'm pretty sure this is a bug in how the capacity data is interpreted by ACPI. I have exactly the same problem on my EEE 900 netbook:
vinc...@lappy:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state present: yes design capacity: 5200 mAh last full capacity: 100 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 8400 mV design capacity warning: 20 mAh design capacity low: 10 mAh capacity granularity 1: 52 mAh capacity granularity 2: 52 mAh model number: 900 serial number: battery type: LION OEM info: ASUS present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: discharging present rate: unknown remaining capacity: 30 mAh present voltage: 7316 mV to me it seems it interprets a percentage as a mAh. -- Incorrect warning about eeepc battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
