laptop battery on 8.0
Howdy! Old laptop hp nx9020 with i386 8.0. Original battery was 371785-001, 11.1 V and 4400 mAH. New one says it is f4809 at 14.8 V. I also lost precise measurement of remain battery time: hw.acpi.battery.life: 97 hw.acpi.battery.time: 267 then again: hw.acpi.battery.life: 97 hw.acpi.battery.time: 388 I'd like to hear any opinion on this subject. Could I damage laptop? Also, what I could do to regain life option?

Could I damage laptop? Also, what I could do to regain life option? surely there might be a mistake in how data are parsed, but remember that the remaining time is computed based on remaining capacity and recent average current. So, if for any reason (cpu/disk/network load decreases, screensaver, etc.) the current decreases, the reported time goes up. It happens all the time with 'acpiconf -i batt' even on 7.x. cheers luigi ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

My worry is could I damage the laptop with discrepance 11.1 V - 14.8 V. I could live with no life in acpi. At least, it worked correctly on all previous versions and also on 8.0 with old batery. Thanks for answering!
