OpenBSD doesn't control charging. That's a function of the various parts of the laptop (battery, charger, embedded controller etc). The system communicates with the firmware on the battery pack and won't charge if that fails or it thinks it's unsafe to charge. > acpibat0 at acpi0: BAT0 model "42T4861" serial 17065 type LION oem "SANYO" There is clearly some comms with the battery because this is reported. Output from "sysctl hw.sensors" might give a clue.
