I am wondering if your firmware is current.
ThinkPad Edge 11, firmware is current.
I reconditioned battery with new Samsung 18650 cells with larger 3500 mAh capacity. Could throw away all that stuff but anyway its quite interesting. If I understand correctly, you cracked open your battery and replaced the actual cells in it, rather than replacing the battery?
In that case, there's probably some kind of ID chip in the battery's circuitry, and it is correctly identifying it as the same unit as the old one.
Exactly, I opened old battery enclosure and soldered new 18650 high-capacity Samsung 3500 mAh cells (old were 2200 mAh). Thermal sensor left in place. Battery has chip with EEPROM, it could be altered but I don't have appropriate hardware. EEPROM holds wrong information, so I would like to alter values in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/... Unfortunately, they are not root-writeable, and even chattr doesn't work on them. # lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on I can throw away this old battery and buy new one for 33 Euro, yet I'm stubborn with hackwork solution for this really interesting puzzle. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
