[Bug 218094] Re: Wrong battery information on MSI S271 laptop with msi-laptop module loaded

[MedO]

Running Intrepid alpha 6 on my Eee Pc 901 (stock battery, eeepc_laptop
module loaded), I just ran into the same or a similar bug:
/proc/acpi/battery shows reasonable information, but gnome power manager
seems to think I have two batteries connected (same data except for
current charge, last full charge and charge rate (all given in Wh)), it
still shows "discharging" even though I'm on AC, and it shows the
battery voltage at around 16V, with a peak at around 30V (when I was
still running on battery). Voltage indicated on the battery pack itself
is 7.3V, /proc/acpi/battery shows 8.4V as design voltage and 8V as
current voltage, which seems close enough to be reasonable IMO. Running
acpi gives me an estimated charge time of under one minute.

/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
present:                 yes
design capacity:         6580 mAh
last full capacity:      6547 mAh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          8400 mV
design capacity warning: 261 mAh
design capacity low:     261 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  65 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  65 mAh
model number:            901
serial number:            
battery type:            LION
OEM info:                ASUS
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          charging
present rate:            2284 mA
remaining capacity:      4962 mAh
present voltage:         7976 mV

running acpi yields:
Battery 0: Charging, 76%, 00:00:41 until charged
