What about when it plugged in? Does "last full capacity" hold steady day or decline over the day(s) ? Mine's now down today from yesterday. Battery 0: design capacity 5513 mAh, last full capacity 4984 mAh = 90% That is an excertp from "acpi -V" Regards, /Lars -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa Post to : lubuntu-qa@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
