Comment 10 for bug 987460

Hi Tuomas,

it seems that your broken battery is coincidence.
I reported this problem a while ago:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/889942

And it is still present in 12.04.
My Laptop ran Hardy for years without this issue and I upgraded straight to 11.10, so it might also be with earlyer releases.

But the kernel goes to:
$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now
14791000
$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now
cat: /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now: Kein passendes Gerät gefunden
$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now
10000000

minutes after reboot and I'm pretty shure Hardy's wouldn't, as also the other OS shows the battery just fine.

The voltage_now value above is wrong, the panel showed a 100% battery whereas it was around 50% judged from runtime and the seemingly correct print with win.
