Hello!
Over the last months I've had a "problem" regarding battery status on my
laptop which has been running FreeBSD CURRENT in order to have a working
Intel driver (Haswell).
My problem/question is that when I boot the laptop with a fully charged
battery and it is still connected to a power source, acpiconf reports
that the battery is discharging, even if it is not:
[andersbo at freebsd-acer: it]$ acpiconf -i0
Design capacity: 4605 mAh
Last full capacity: 3523 mAh
Technology: secondary (rechargeable)
Design voltage: 11400 mV
Capacity (warn): 245 mAh
Capacity (low): 192 mAh
Low/warn granularity: 53 mAh
Warn/full granularity: 3278 mAh
Model number: AC14A8L
Serial number: 13475
Type: LION
OEM info: LGC
State: discharging
Remaining capacity: 98%
Remaining time: unknown
Present rate: 0 mA (0 mW)
Present voltage: 12619 mV
However, if I do discharge the battery and then charge it up to full
again, acpiconf correctly reports battery status as "high":
[andersbo at freebsd-acer: it]$ acpiconf -i0
Design capacity: 4605 mAh
Last full capacity: 3584 mAh
Technology: secondary (rechargeable)
Design voltage: 11400 mV
Capacity (warn): 245 mAh
Capacity (low): 192 mAh
Low/warn granularity: 53 mAh
Warn/full granularity: 3339 mAh
Model number: AC14A8L
Serial number: 13475
Type: LION
OEM info: LGC
State: high
Remaining capacity: 100%
Remaining time: unknown
Present rate: 0 mA (0 mW)
Present voltage: 12823 mV
Last Thursday I updated the sources to ALPHA2:
[andersbo at freebsd-acer: it]$ uname -a
FreeBSD freebsd-acer.local 11.0-ALPHA2 FreeBSD 11.0-ALPHA2 #1 r301745:

root at freebsd-acer.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
Do you have any tips on how to fix this little "problem?"
Thanks in advance.
Anders
