Description Wojciech Sluszniak 2006-12-10 13:10:20 UTC
Description of problem:
HAL 0.5.8.1-5.fc6 badly evaluate the battery status in Acer Aspire 3003LMi.
In the newer it was fixed, I've heard.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354757#c9
(ACPID info about battery is correct)

You can see how gnome-power-manager, which has an info from hal, works here:

I've explored the problem a bit and found that it's a problem with a low voltage
(1 mV when bettery is used, 2 mV when charged), which is reported by battery.
It looks like HAL uses this voltage to count battery.charge_level.current.
