tag 574805 +patch thanks Hello:
I've researched a bit about this and I think I have a patch that fixes the
issue. In fact the patch just revert one of the commits done some time ago,
r316 from subversion repository.
The problem is that the value in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT*/current_now is
interpreted as watts while it should be considered as current.
I suspect the real problem has been that this ACPI property is on its way to
deprecation and power_now will be preferred. However, this latter is not shown
in my case, I can't see it in the /sys/class/power_supply/BAT* dir.
I have tested the patch and it works for me. I'm still pending to report
this upstream.
Regards,
