do you know if changing the numbers in say VOLTAGE_NOW to match min on
mine would do anything? I know I can just try but is there something bad
that could happen? At least you have the same kernel message as me and
basically the same laptop as me. I wish I could get mine to charge that
close to full again while using Arch.
Thanks for posting that though makes me feel better
I honestly don't know enough to say. I've never bothered with the battery
life (I'm almost always plugged in), so this is an area I've never
researched.
I did experiment a little with unplugging and seeing what happens, all of
these were run immediately after one another, immediately after unplugging
the power:

Thank you that looks similar to how mine is responding, I just don't
think its allowing it to fully charge on mine. I like you am mostly
plugged in as well, but would be nice to know I can use the battery and
rely on what results I am getting, though mostly my VOLTAGE_NOW is lower
than MIN_DESIGN. Guess that just is me doing lots of testing, to figure
the rest out.
Side note since you have a Qosmio as well have you ever tried messing
with DSDT on yours?
Appreciate your time.
