[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#624187: assumes not charging means full battery

[Evgeni Golov]

Package: upower
Version: 0.9.9-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I own a ThinkPad X201s which allows setting of thresholds for charging the
battery (via tp-smapi). This means that my battery is sometimes charged to
only 60% and is not charging while connected to AC (because I set it to charge
only if it drops below 50%).

Now upower thinks (as it is not charging) it is fully-charged:
  battery
    present:             yes
    rechargeable:        yes
    state:               fully-charged
    energy:              51.2487 Wh
    energy-empty:        0 Wh
    energy-full:         82.6062 Wh
    energy-full-design:  103.496 Wh
    energy-rate:         0 W
    voltage:             12.132 V
    percentage:          62.0398%

That miss-information makes my xfce4-power-manager icon show me a full (100%)
battery in the tray and fooling me into thinking it is charged to 100% instead
of 60% [this is the reason for severity:normal and not minor].

Regards
Evgeni
