The system thus only has half of the possible battery life! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Lenovo T440s with two batteries in battery mode 2. Wait for BAT1 to drain before BAT0 3. Actual Results: System uses BAT1 before BAT0. Thus, "Battery critical" warning and action occurs it BAT1 is empty, although BAT0 is still fully charged Expected Results: System should drain BAT0 before BAT1. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
