I found out why I got mixed up... I'm not an idiot after all :) I have fedora core 6 system that I use for work - and on FC6 GPM shows only W (not Wh or Ah) and it should be Wh as the number are the same as from /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info Here it is: Laptop IBM Lenovo Thinkpad R52 cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info present: yes design capacity: 47520 mWh last full capacity: 47690 mWh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 10800 mV design capacity warning: 2384 mWh design capacity low: 200 mWh capacity granularity 1: 1 mWh capacity granularity 2: 1 mWh model number: IBM-92P1071 serial number: 7721 battery type: LION OEM info: SONY Gnome Power Manager: Serial Number: 7721 Model: IBM-92P1071 Capacity: 100% Current charge: 47.7 W Last full charge: 47.7 W Design charge: 47.5 W So in 1.5 years this old battery even got better :) Why in Gnome Power Manager 2.16.3 the capacity is in W and not in Wh?
