The ACPI 3.0b specs[1] say in chapter 10.2.2.3 that providing percentages in the ACPI Battery Status (_BST) is OK as long as the battery is "primary", that is, not rechargeable. The EeePC has rechargeable batteries, so this can not apply. Both Battery Status and Battery Information (_BIF) should report capacities in mAh or mWh. In the Debian Wiki[2] Lutz said '[Lutz] Battery indicator works fine with last BIOS and kernel 2.6.25'. I'm running a EeePC 4G (=701?) with Bios 1101 and Debian stock kernel 2.6.26, and it's not working for me. I wrote to Asus Germany support, but got no answer until now.
