Subject2.6.10 ACPI on dell inspiron 8100
I noticed something strange with ACPI and the battery:
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1$ cat info
present: yes
design capacity: 57420 mWh
last full capacity: 57420 mWh
battery technology: rechargeable
design voltage: 14800 mV
design capacity warning: 3000 mWh
design capacity low: 1000 mWh
capacity granularity 1: 200 mWh
capacity granularity 2: 200 mWh
model number: LIP8084DLP
serial number: 20495
battery type: LION
OEM info: Sony Corp.
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1$ cat state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charging
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 59040 mWh
present voltage: 16716 mV
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1$

Is my laptop messed up or is ACPI not seeing proper values? How can I have
59040 remaining capacity when it the full capacity is 57420? Also the
system didn't display the charging light so I know it's not charging.

I yanked the battery and I saw this:
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1$ cat state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charged
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 0 mWh
present voltage: 0 mV
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1$

Under BAT0, info and state show one line, present: no
