On my machine the two commands (-i 0 & -i batt) deliver identical information, when I posted originally I was tired and bleary eyed/headed... <snip> [ajenkins@ajenkins-hplaptop /usr/src/sys]$ acpiconf -i 1 acpiconf: get battery info (1) failed: Device not configured Here's the output of acpiconf-i 1 [ronf@mobile] ~% acpiconf -i 1 Design capacity: 0 mWh Last full capacity: 0 mWh Technology: primary (non-rechargeable) Design voltage: 0 mV Capacity (warn): 0 mWh Capacity (low): 0 mWh Low/warn granularity: 0 mWh Warn/full granularity: 0 mWh Model number: Serial number: Type: OEM info: State: not present Present voltage: unknown Just for giggles I did run acpiconf -i 0 & -i 1 without the battery installed, saw this...

A little more info.. Looking at dmesg I see battery0: <ACPI Control Method Battery> on acpi0 battery1: <ACPI Control Method Battery> on acpi0 Battery1 does not exist. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list [1]http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-acpi To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" References 1. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-acpi _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-acpi To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
