How
hot is it?
I've
started running Kernel Power which I really like.
Mostly
because it gives me the ability to use IPv6. However, one of the other
features it provides is information about the battery.
Specifically, if you run
modprobe bq27x00_battery
it
will give you access to data about the battery, including capacity, voltage_now,
current_now and temp
It
seems like this might be useful in understanding what is going on with the
battery, if it has been damaged, etc.
For
example, right now, my battery is reporting:
POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=3979
POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=789
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=83
POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP=25
POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=789
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=83
POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP=25
Yesterday, when I had drained it, the POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP
climbed to 40.
I'm
curious about what other people are seeing for these numbers, as well as what
the acceptable ranges should be.
Anyone
else running Kernel_Power and care to report on the status of their
batteries?
