--- Comment #7 from Ferry Toth <ft...@telfort.nl> 2010-05-24 20:52:48 --- 1)Me, I'm just an electronics engineer. >From that point of view the kernel reports 100 mAh, where it actually is 100% (of the capacity). There is no way higher levels can or should doubt the reported value - including the unit. So if the kernel spec allows the unit %, ubuntu should interpret that and calculate the correct capacity. But then the kernel should report 100% (when full) If only mAh is allowed the correct value should be calculated by the kernel and reported in mAh. But then the kernel should report capacity * design capacity = 100% * 5200mAh = 100 / 100 * 5200 = 5200mAh. 2) I don't know why you can not calculate the remaining capacity. In my reported data the eeepc was connected to the charger and full. Therefore the discharge rate is unknown. The calculations are not different then with other batteries. Or? 3) Both windows xp and the the original asus supplied linux have no problem reporting the battery state.
