[Bug 810549] Re: Battery indicator turns red when charged second battery is inserted

 

This also happens on an HP Elitebook 8440w with the extended life
battery connected.

  Battery #1     : present
    Remaining capacity : 8604 mAh, 100.0%
    Design capacity    : 8604 mAh
    Last full capacity : 8604 mAh
    Present rate       : 0 mA
    Charging state     : charged
    Battery type       : rechargeable 
    Model number       : 100 mAh
    Serial number      : Primary
  Battery #2     : present
    Remaining capacity : 5692 mAh, 94.60%, 00:16:52
    Design capacity    : 6017 mAh
    Last full capacity : 6017 mAh
    Present rate       : 1156 mA
    Charging state     : charged
    Battery type       : rechargeable 
    Model number       : 100 mAh
    Serial number      : Travel

This was working fine on Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04, 10.10, but is now broken on
Ubuntu 11.04.

Title:
  Battery indicator turns red when charged second battery is inserted

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is on a Lenovo T410s, Natty, 64-bit.  I have the second battery
  goes in the cd-rom drive slot.  If the laptop is plugged in, and both
  batteries are charged, the battery indicator will turn red with the
  empty battery icon.  Clicking on the icon will show 3 batteries
  "waiting to charge".  However, when I click on the "waiting to charge"
  text the Power Statistics menu shows everything correctly.

  Additionally, the time remaining only shows the time remaining of the
  current battery, not the total of both.

  If I only have one battery in everything seems to detect correctly.

  I'll attach screenshots.  Thank you.
