[SOLVED] battery monitor problems

supermagnum · 06-03-2010, 09:48 AM

I re-calibrated my battery using the function in BIOS.
My battery monitor in KDE now shows 95% even if the battery is fully charged.
I run Kubuntu 9.10
Do anyone know how to fix this?

Sometimes, linux does not detect that the battery charger is connected.

I solved it, re-calibrated my battery again and that fixed it.

Hi Sup

Most likely there is nothing to fix. the 95% means 95% of total capacity.
your battery is aging, and losing its ability to hold a charge.

It will not get any better.

Even I think so, that your battery is getting old and you need to change it if you want 100% capacity or stick to 95% as it has still got good capacity and there is nothing wrong in that.
