What can i do?<BR /><BR />I also tried to run the HP battery test progam but the installer doesn't work as expected on wine.<BR /><BR />Any ideas?<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance<BR /><BR />Some info about the battery:<BR /><BR />steven@steven-laptop:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0$ cat info <BR />present: yes<BR />design capacity: 6000 mAh<BR />last full capacity: 4256 mAh<BR />battery technology: rechargeable<BR />design voltage: 14800 mV<BR />design capacity warning: 217 mAh<BR />design capacity low: 131 mAh<BR />capacity granularity 1: 10 mAh<BR />capacity granularity 2: 25 mAh<BR />model number: Primary<BR />serial number: <BR />battery type: LION<BR />OEM info: Hewlett-Packard<BR />steven@steven-laptop:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0$ cat state <BR />present: yes<BR />capacity state: ok<BR />charging state: charged<BR />present rate: unknown<BR />remaining capacity: 4256 mAh<BR />present voltage: 12482 mV<BR /> Mon, 25 Jun 2007 19:02:06 GMT Steven3k 2007-06-25T19:02:06Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/battery-capacity/m-p/4026529#M64437 Hi,<BR />I just buyed a dv6370ea notebook, i plugged in the battery and ac adapter (and installed linux) and I noticed that the battery was 100% charged at 53Wh while the design capacity was 88,8Wh (i was only using 59% of the design capacity as reported by gnome-power-manager).<BR /><BR />So I fully discharged, waited for the battery to cool down and then recharged it, but nothing changed.<BR /><BR />The battery is brand new, the laptop was buyed just a couple of days ago.<BR /><BR /><BR />Is this normal?
