Hi, |
| 2 |
i'm running Gentoo latest version on a Sony Vaio laptop (fs115s) |
| 3 |
and i'm in a big trouble with battery life management. |
| 4 |
I'm using these versions: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
acpi-0.06-r5 |
| 7 |
acpid-1.0.4-r2 |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
and this is what /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info |
| 10 |
show to me: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
present: yes |
| 13 |
design capacity: 10000 mWh |
| 14 |
last full capacity: 10000 mWh |
| 15 |
battery technology: non-rechargeable |
| 16 |
design voltage: unknown |
| 17 |
design capacity warning: 1000 mWh |
| 18 |
design capacity low: 400 mWh |
| 19 |
capacity granularity 1: 100 mWh |
| 20 |
capacity granularity 2: 100 mWh |
| 21 |
model number: |
| 22 |
serial number: |
| 23 |
battery type: LiOn |
| 24 |
OEM info: Sony Corp. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
and /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/ state: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
present: yes |
| 29 |
capacity state: ok |
| 30 |
charging state: charging |
| 31 |
present rate: unknown |
| 32 |
remaining capacity: 1900 mWh |
| 33 |
present voltage: unknown |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
As you can see from these files design capacity is recognized as 10000 mWh |
| 36 |
when reading from battery specifications: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
11.1 V |
| 39 |
4400 mA |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
should give 48840 mWh. |
| 42 |
Furthermore present and design voltage are recognized as "unknown" and |
| 43 |
battery technology as "non-rechargeable" ! |
| 44 |
This puzzling situation leads to a battery life of about 1 hour and a half. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Please if someone has ANY ideas on how to bring things in the right way, |
| 47 |
PLEASE HELP ME !! |
| 48 |

Many thanks, |

cheers, |
