I have a Fujitsu lifebook (P771) running Ubuntu 12.10, and did not experience any problems when inserting en extra battery. The new battery was indicated as empty for quite a long time though (hence my browsing this bug and several others), but after being plugged in for a few hours it now

Bug 531190 (see also as of my comment 133) and the linked bug 882160 might be relevant. I am trying to solve that and it looks to me like gnome-settings-deamon automatically forces a suspend when it detects an empty battery - in my case I don't even have a second battery, but the system sends an

This is broken in the released version of Ubuntu 11.10. There is no workaround possible AFAIK from power settings. My only option is Shutdown or Hibernate When Power is critically low but, of course, I actually have a fully charged battery. Happy to help, if possible. -- You received this bug

I should add, when the battery is going undetected by Ubuntu, it is also undetected as far as the battery indicator light on the laptop itself is off. The light indicates battery status: yellow = charging, green = charged, off = not present. -- Laptop with dual batteries reads both but only

Ok - well, I may just go ahead and look into this with the ACPI code. Did you do this before with Hardy? I don't like the idea of having swap/move/push etc. any batteries in my laptop unless it is absolutely necessary. My machine (HP NC8000) has two dedicated battery bays that should draw down
