Public bug reported: The indicator implements the spec:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#Handling_multiple_batteries which states: "Their percentages should be averaged." Apparently this was taken to mean the simple arithmetic mean, and not the weighted average (by the capacity of each battery). http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator- power/trunk.15.04/view/head:/src/service.c#L1316 shows: const double percent = sum_percent / n_batteries; This means that if one battery is twice as large as another, then after that battery is discharged, 50% would be reported. I'd expect 33%. The spec needs to be updated to be less ambiguous about the intended meaning of the word "average" and the code needs to be fixed. ** Affects: indicator-power (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430542 Title: Indicator doesn't use weighted average with different-sized batteries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-power/+bug/1430542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
