Comment 6 for bug 302570

I haven't found an upstream bug about this, and I'm not sure if we should be the ones submitting it or the ubuntu package maintainer.

I have been searching for a way to write a serial number to the battery so it will be reported by acpi, but so far I haven't found a way to do this nor I have found if it's even possible. After much thinking about the correct way to identify uniquely between various batteries I'm convinced that the correct way would be to be able to write a serial number if the battery hasn't one. Other correct way would be that the user manually identifies the battery each time the system has doubts, a major PITA.

I'm still searching about the way to modify the serial number field in acpi.
