Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Description of the problem: gnome-power-manager incorrectly pops up a warning about an unhealthy battery in my EeePC 900. Further the battery statistics are somewhat bizarre as the EeePC is quirky in how it reports this information back to the OS. Steps to reproduce: Start Ubuntu 9.10 on an EeePC 900 with a fresh battery in it. Expected result: No warnings to be shown. Battery information to be somewhat sensible. Actual result: A "Your battery may be broken" message is shown. The capacity (always reported as 1.9%) and charge values (always beween 0.0 and 0.8) are strange. Version information: Ubuntu karmic gnome-power-manager 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Additional information: The acpi output looks something like this: present: yes design capacity: 5200 mAh last full capacity: 100 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 8400 mV design capacity warning: 20 mAh design capacity low: 10 mAh capacity granularity 1: 52 mAh capacity granularity 2: 52 mAh model number: 900 serial number: battery type: LION OEM info: ASUS I think I remember reading that you were only supposed to report do it this way with non-rechargeable batteries but now the problem is here we are pretty much stuck with it.
