[opensuse] KDE Battery widget reads 11% w/ charged battery
My new T520 has been working fine with OpenSuSE 11.4 and KDE installed. Up unitl Wednesday, the battery widget in the panel read 98% charged. Starting sometime Thursday, it turned red and reads "11% (charged)". It continues to read the same after a couple of hours of suspend to ram and overnight suspend to disk. viajero:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 # cat info present: yes design capacity: 5616 mAh last full capacity: 5615 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 10800 mV design capacity warning: 280 mAh design capacity low: 18 mAh cycle count: 0 capacity granularity 1: 1 mAh capacity granularity 2: 1 mAh model number: 42T4911 serial number: 56301 battery type: LION OEM info: LGC viajero:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 # cat state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: 0 mA remaining capacity: 5615 mAh present voltage: 12549 mV Comparing this 6 cell setup to the 9 cell setup in my T41, this looks reasonable given the change in capacity measurements from mWh to mAh. Any suggestions on how to reset the battery widget? TIA, Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yep, that's the one. I have been doing just suspend to ram lately, not even suspend to disk. Cold boot and it's fine. Sounds like just logging out and back in will fix it. Good to know it's a KDE bug, not a new battery failing early.

Beware, it could happen the other way round, i.e., it looks like the battery is full but actually it is almost empty.
