2019-10-28 Thread Jak Mason
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 on a 2015 Macbook Pro, 13" with a newish
replacement battery that charages and runs down completely normally for
it's specs. I only see a 18% charge when fully charged event though it
will run for ours under load. Additionally, remaining life shows 0:40
minutes. Glad I this is logged here as the problem was being denied
elsewhere. Thanks

Does this post show some hint for this bug:
http://forum.eeeuser.com/index.php?/topic/81732-battery-measurements-
are-wrong-eeepc-900-ubuntu-1004/page__view__findpost__p__710079 ?

Quote:
This is a problem with the way the battery reports its charging state. The 
ubuntu applet (and the rest of the system, down to the kernel) expects the 
charge to be reported in mAh but instead the battery itself reports a 
percentage. If you look at state and info in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/, you'll 
find that a fully charged battery reports a charge of 100 mAh ... with a 
(reported) design capacity of 5200 mAh this works out to 1.9 %.

This bug affects me (on Compaq-Presario-CQ41). It's annoying, because
sometimes it will say time till battery is empty is 0min and then
hibernate my computer even though my batter has 30% charge left. I can
immediate turn my computer on again because I still have heaps of charge
left.

2011-11-01 Thread LaMont Jones
This is especially annoying since unplugging the laptop from power
results in battery critically low, hibernating now!.  with the 9 cell
battery, OTOH, it just says things like Laptop battery low.
Approximately 7 minutes remaining (92%) followed instants later by the
indicator claiming 3+ hours remaining.

perhaps not being so quick to believe itself would be in order.

2011-10-31 Thread Richard Hughes
I'm pretty sure some of you will be fixed by this upstream commit:

commit b971b43c45bef9251e1d6389716b9fbe107802c7
Author: Leonardo Robol l...@robol.it
Date:   Wed Oct 19 17:13:12 2011 +0100

Use linear regression to get better predicted battery times

For hardware that has no rate data we use the differences in charge over a 
time
period to work out the effective rate. Using linear regression this 
estimation
is much more realistic.

To do this, introduce a simple circular buffer and use an index to calculate
the rate on each update.

[Bug 120258] Re: Laptop Battery Time Remaining Outrageously Inaccurate

2010-05-20 Thread Ketil Wendelbo Aanensen
This problem is still very annoying to me on Lucid. Unplugging the power throws 
a window that tells me: Laptop battery critcally low - Computer will suspend 
very soon unless it is plugged in. Clicking OK or Cancel results in nothing 
except the window closing.
However, I tried out battery-status: https://launchpad.net/battery-status If I 
use that, my computer will suspend itself every time I unplug the power. 
This bug has now lasted across several versions of Ubuntu with a high 
importance. Is there anything I can do to get this from Incomplete to 
something else?

I have this problem with HP 2133 Mini-Note PC:

When connected to AC power, power-manager reports draining time is about
2 hours, but when I disconnect from AC, it suspends inmediately saying
that battery will last 2 minutes (with 100% loaded!). Could it be a
medition error? (calculating 2 hours like 2 minutes or vice versa?)

When unplugging my Dell Mini 9, often I get a message which tells a
correct charge percentage (e.g. 75%) but estimates remaining time at 1
minute. The laptop then hibernates (and freezes completely because of

Could someone with the crazy-varying estimates please attach different
logs of devkit-power --dump, run when the time remaining is different?

For example:

1h 15m : log it
0h 15s: log it
6h: log it

About three logs should suffice. This will determine whether the error
is in g-p-m or in the underlying system software.

2009-12-12 Thread Kevin Demarest
Just learned draining a L-ion battery completely will permanently damage
the battery's capacity.  I won't be purchasing a new battery until I can
be certain that gnome-power-manager will provide the proper
warnings/actions to prevent damage to a new battery.  I have looked at
the gnome-power-manager source code, but I'm currently not confident
that it is getting the proper information from the
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT*/info file to properly provide a warning or take
action when the battery is at a critical charge state.  Here is my
battery's info.

present: yes
design capacity: 5200 mAh
last full capacity:  354 mAh
battery technology:  rechargeable
design voltage:  12597 mV
design capacity warning: 300 mAh
design capacity low: 200 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  32 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  32 mAh
model number:NS2P3SZNJ5WR
serial number:   17249
battery type:LION
OEM info:SANYO

I'm currently working on a perl script to see if I can get the
functionality I need in order to insure my next battery stays fully
functional.  Here's a paste of the script if you are interested in
utilizing it/updating it for your needs.

I get about 46 minutes from my 5200mAh battery.  I charged it until the
charge light indicated it was fully charged, then let the battery
completely run down until the system powered off.  Typing acpi at the
command line doesn't report the % full accurately, but there is a
problem with the battery capacity now (only getting 46 minutes), and I
got the message that my battery capacity is at 41% and is broken or
damaged.  My problem isn't just with gnome-power-manager, it's with
acpi.

Sometimes the readings are accurate, sometimes wrong. I tried
hibernate/resume, but the problem didn't reoccur. I tried a fresh boot
recently and noticed a little while ago the incorrect readings while
charging from AC. However, as I type this bug report, the readings have
returned to normal.

2008-12-04 Thread Sesivany
I think the problem is that gnome-power-manager takes the value from the
battery. For example LiOn batteries tend to report lower times if they
were stressed by higher energy consumption for a short time. I think we
will get more accurate values if gnome-power-manager calculates the
remaining time from the remaining energy and the current consumption (or
weighted average of consumption values for 5, 10, 15 minutes while
lastest value has the highest weight).

gnome-power-manager keeps some (dis)charge history in ~/.gnome2/gnome-

For me, the problem resolved when I backed up my home directories and
re-installed Ubuntu with the latest ISO. The problem started with the
update to Hardy Heron. It was never resolved with any subsequent
patches. But it seemed to have been resolved since it works with a
fresh install. It is kind of weird because it reminds me more of a
Windows kind of problem/solution and not something typical of what
Ubuntu has become.

I can confirm this Bug on my ThinkPad T61, Ubuntu Hardy x86.

1. The power history seems to be wrong and shows a usage of about 9W (I
wish it was so). But powertop shows about 18W.

2. The remaining time is about 2.5 times bigger than the one shown by
the power manager. When about three real minutes go over, then the power
manger makes one minute out of it.

a new battery. Same problem. I first noticed this defect about two weeks
ago. So it may not be related to the original issue in this thread

I am running a Toshiba Satellite. P35-S611.

Same issue on a Thinkpad X61s 1.60Ghz.  Running up to date Hardy A5.
Percentage is correct but remaining time and graphs are wildly wrong.

[Bug 120258] Re: Laptop Battery Time Remaining Outrageously Inaccurate

2008-02-23 Thread seekortry
I have the same problem appear suddenly on my Dell 1420. The battery
manager does not work correctly any longer. If I run the laptop on
battery power, it will not charge after I plug it back in. Once plugged-
in, it says I am fully charged at some percentage (which drops each time
I unplug). If I reboot and go to to the bios, I can watch the battery
charge as normal. I first thought it was a battery problem. Dell sent me
a new battery. Same problem. I first noticed this defect about two weeks
ago. So it may not be related to the original issue in this thread.
