Hi,
i'm running Gentoo latest version on a Sony Vaio laptop (fs115s)
and i'm in a big trouble with battery life management.
I'm using these versions:
acpi-0.06-r5
acpid-1.0.4-r2
and this is what /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
show to me:
present: yes
design capacity: 10000 mWh
last full capacity: 10000 mWh
battery technology: non-rechargeable
design voltage: unknown
design capacity warning: 1000 mWh
design capacity low: 400 mWh
capacity granularity 1: 100 mWh
capacity granularity 2: 100 mWh
model number:
serial number:
battery type: LiOn
OEM info: Sony Corp.
and /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/ state:
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charging
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 1900 mWh
present voltage: unknown
As you can see from these files design capacity is recognized as 10000 mWh
when reading from battery specifications:
11.1 V
4400 mA
should give 48840 mWh.
Furthermore present and design voltage are recognized as "unknown" and
battery technology as "non-rechargeable" !
This puzzling situation leads to a battery life of about 1 hour and a half.
Please if someone has ANY ideas on how to bring things in the right way,
PLEASE HELP ME !!
Many thanks,
cheers,
Max.
