battery: current a factor of 10 off?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

on my ThinkPad R50e the current_now reading seems something like 10
times the actual value.  Documentation/power/power_supply_class.txt
says it's in uA, and a tipical discharge value is around 15259000,
that is, 15 A on my system.  At the same time voltage is 11756000,
that is, 12 V, which sounds reasonable, but then the power is 15*12 VA,
ie 180 W, which is insane.  However, the numerical derivative of
energy_now gives 18 W, which is both reasonable and consistent with
the assumed factor of 10 error in current_now.  Is this possibly a bug
in 2.6.26.6?  During a quick glance over battery.c nothing obvious
jumped at me, but I'm no expert on this.
