           Summary: Eeepc 900 reports incorrect battery status
           Product: ACPI
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.32
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Power-Battery
        AssignedTo: acpi_power-batt...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: ft...@telfort.nl
        Regression: No


On eeepc 900 (and possibly other variants) the battery status is incorrectly
reported, possibly do to a mixup of units.

With power plugged in and battery fully charged:
$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info 
present:                 yes
design capacity:         5200 mAh
last full capacity:      100 mAh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          8400 mV
design capacity warning: 20 mAh
design capacity low:     10 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  52 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  52 mAh
model number:            900
serial number:            
battery type:            LION
OEM info:                ASUS

$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state 
present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          charged
present rate:            unknown
remaining capacity:      100 mAh
present voltage:         8326 mV


last full capacity remaining capacity are reported by asus in %
there may be a similar problem with granularity

As a result of the above ubuntu reports a broken battery on each login and
remaining battery time is incorrectly estimated.

Additional info might be obtained from asus linux kernel sources?
