Added a configuration option to disable the check, attached a patch that fixes the problem. I'm sorry if I didn't get anything quite right, this is my first time submitting a patch! :) Mike On Wed, 27 Feb 2013 14:35:49 +0530 Ritesh Raj Sarraf r...@researchut.com wrote: On Wednesday 27 February 2013 10:54 AM, Mike Roddewig wrote: The battery in my Thinkpad T420 reports an abnormally high alarm level which results in laptop-mode-tools disabling the data-loss sensitive features, even at 50% battery charge.
