Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 with a old battery that only holds about a
30 minute charge (I timed this, it varied from 10 minutes cold to 28
minutes warm to 32 minutes hot). I use to have Xubuntu 9.04 installed,
but then switched to Ubuntu 9.04 to have better support for my school
work. I also have the newest version (2.24.2-2ubuntu8) installed
Firstly, it takes over 2 hours to charge this battery. I'm not sure if
this is a bug or if my charger is dying, but might as well bring it up.
During these two hours, it will show the incorrect charge percentage
(0%-100%). xfce-power-manager correctly showed the charge percentage
(0%-29%) during charge.
Secondly, while discharging, the battery applet will show the incorrect
discharge time and percentage (2 hours 5 minutes and 100%-0%
respectively). xfce-power-manager correctly showed the discharge time
and percentage (10-32 minutes and 29%-0% respectively).
Here is my battery information:
Product: 59S6702
Status: Charging
Percentage charge: 20.0%
Vendor: Sanyo
Technology: Unknown
Serial number: 10
Model: XXXXXXX
Charge time: 2 hours 13 minutes
Capacity: 29% (Poor)
Current charge: 2.6 Wh
Last full charge: 12.9 Wh
Design charge: 43.2 Wh
Charge rate: 4.6 W
I have charged up the battery and let it die five times before writing
this report to make sure it's not anything else.
