The following directory is interesting for watching the battery
behavior:

/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/1-0010


Code:
--------------------
    
  
  .                       alarm_time              input:input2
  ..                      ambient                 ir
  adc_0                   battery_capacity        kill
  adc_1                   battery_charge          modalias
  adc_10                  battery_charge_rate     msp_buffer
  adc_11                  battery_disable         name
  adc_12                  battery_discharge_rate  power_mode

  adc_14                  battery_vmon1_voltage   subsystem
  adc_15                  battery_vmon2_voltage   sys_voltage
  adc_2                   battery_voltage         test_1
  adc_3                   bus                     test_2
  adc_4                   charger_event           test_4
  adc_5                   charger_state           test_8
  adc_6                   driver                  time
  adc_7                   flash                   uevent
  adc_8                   fw                      wall_voltage

You can find out how some of the readings are interpreted by looking
in:

/usr/share/jive/applets/Diagnostics/DiagnosticsApplet.lua
/usr/share/jive/applets/SqueezeboxBaby/SqueezeboxBabyApplet.lua

But some values like battery_charge_rate (10) aren't used in the lua
files and don't have meanings that are obvious to me. It appears to be
using at TI MSP430 microcontroller. Here is some info on charging
options with the MSP430:

http://focus.ti.com/lit/ug/sluu369/sluu369.pdf
http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/slaa287/slaa287.pdf (has some MSP430 C
code)

I'm probably going to set up a remote syslogd so I can dump battery
stats regularly (every 10 seconds say) and graph them to understand the
charging characteristics.
