I don't see anything that looks obviously wrong.  So here's a test to 
see if the EC is going to sleep or not.  Run the battery down to where 
the red LED is active.  Then power off the laptop.  If the EC goes into 
stop mode the red LED should go out after a few seconds.  If you press a 
game button the EC should wake up briefly and the led will turn back on 
then in a few seconds go back out.

Ah... 24 hours... Looking back you said that in the original email.
So 12% is about 370mAh which at the nominal battery voltage should be
2.2 to 2.5 Wh.  Over 24 hours that a draw of 90 to 100 mW.  Thats high
for the EC not going to into stop mode but perhaps there's enough
error in the measurement to skew the results.

My 1st guess is that something in the battery EEPROM is making the EC
unhappy and its not going into stop mode when the power is off.

Put the funky battery in the laptop and boot it.  Then stop at OFW and
do a 'bat-dump-banks'. Then send on the output.

Correct in all 3 (but ~12% in a 24h period)

I'm asking you to verify that these facts are true based on your testing.


- Battery does not lose charge outside the laptop.
- Tested the battery in 2 different laptops and the loss is the same.
Roughly 12% overnight.



- A different battery in those same laptops does not lose 12%


In case its not clear.  If you have not done this test with a different 
battery in the 2 laptops then please do so.

Can you please provide the battery serial number, as well as the
laptop serial number.   Was it a pre-production XO-1 ?

This is not related to a specific XO but rather the

battery itself.

How are you measuring the loss?


Just looking at the Sugar battery monitor in 2 XO-1s running 21011o0 and os880 
(but this one with FW updated to q2f08)



What happens if the battery is not installed in an XO?


Actually, it does NOT discharge when off the XOs !

I guess I should get some power logs.
Anything else?


So now that you know its not the battery what are the symptoms?
 You turn off the XO at night and then in the morning the battery is 
12% less?

Battery losing charge while off

2012-05-23 Thread Yioryos Asprobounitis
One of my XO batteries (~2years old) is loosing about 12% of its charge in 24h 
period while the XO is off.
This is not related to a specific XO but rather the battery itself.
I did run batman.fth bat-recover just in case but made no difference.
Also tried to clean the contacts of any possible dust and humidity with no 
result either.
I did not see any relevant info on the wiki about this specific issue and I was 
wondering if this 'can happen' and if there is anything that can be done about 
it, other than replacing the battery.
Thx.
