Threatened. So you could have continued to use it? Sorry, I'm not used to what KDE does on a low battery. > energy: 3.0488 Wh > energy-empty: 0 Wh > energy-full: 45.14 Wh > energy-full-design: 45.14 Wh > energy-rate: 0 W ... > The machine stayed up OK, but the percentage never went up. Has the battery every got this low before? Could it just be that charging is very slow from this low state? Have you an old battery to see if different behaviour can be observed, even if the battery isn't a suitable replacement. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2024-10-01 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... https://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
