[Bug 379599] Re: System shutdown on 0% for 1 of 2 batteries.

 

I am having issues here too with my Dell Latitude E6520. Resuming from suspend results in critical battery warning (when that should not be the case), and a shut down. I only have one battery, but two icons show up in the notification area. 
> cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state 
results in valid information

> /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state 
> /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2/state 
result in 
> present: no

Title:
  System shutdown on 0% for 1 of 2 batteries.

Status in Gnome Powermanager:
  In Progress
Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  With two batteries, when the first battery hits low levels gnome-
  power-manager alerts the user of low/critical and then takes the
  "critcially" low action, even thow the other battery is still at 100%.
  gnome-power-manager detects and can interact with either battery.

  This affects at least karmic, but is believed to affect jaunty as
  well.

  gnome-power-manager version 2.26.1-0ubuntu3

  I would expect that gnome-power-manager should warn, but then continue
  to move through the second battery.
