Hi,

sorry for long delay

phillw@piglet:~$ acpi -V
The program 'acpi' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install acpi
phillw@piglet:~$ sudo apt-get install acpi
[sudo] password for phillw:


I now have it and will test over the coming week :)

Battery 0: Full, 100%
Battery 0: design capacity 4400 mAh, last full capacity 3650 mAh = 82%
Adapter 0: on-line


Regards,

Phill.
