Question:
how fully does your battery charge?
My less-than-one-month old dv9500t doesn't seem to charge up all the way. It sits permanently on my desk, I don't carry it around so not a big deal, just a little bizarre. Only 4448 mAh out of 6000. This is how old worn out batteries behave, but again, my whole laptop is brand new:

:confused: I put my battery into my laptop and plug it into 110v AC. My laptop sits on my desk, always on AC, like a desktop. I don't put it on my lap or anywhere else.

Hmmm yours looks nearly full. Sounds like maybe I have a defective battery or something. Or hp 'accidentally' slipped me a crufty old used one. :p

Lupin,
Come on. The guy wants to know how you implement that script. I kinda want to know too.
Question: EXACTLY how do you test the battery as you have done. It would go a long way to answer your question as well.
OK, you have listed an obscure set of characters, which woud seem to be an address with switches, or a script name, or ????

Re: how fully does your battery charge?
No scripts, no black magic or mystery here guys. It's one command. A single command. You type it. With your keyboard. Use your fingers for that. I know the command line can be scary and confusing to some folks, but this is just a single command here, come on.
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
If you're using Windows OS, you'll need a Live CD, something like this: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

I just tried something. I unplugged the laptop, fired up a multiplayer game of Quake 3 and played until the laptop shut off on its own, effectively draining the battery all the way. I've never run it down to empty before. Plugged it back in and it's charging now, we'll see how full it gets this time around.....
