I have a barely year old Acer Travelmate 4102WLMi running Slackware 10.1 with a 2.6.17.1 kernel. Suspecting some drop in my uptime specially while running in X (I use KDE as my WM) I installed acpitool and checked the output for the battery status.
Code:
Kernel version : 2.6.17.1 - ACPI version : 20060127
-----------------------------------------------------------
Battery #1 : present
Remaining capacity : 2987 mAh, 100.0%
Design capacity : 4400 mAh
Last full capacity : 2987 mAh, 67.89% of design capacity
Capacity loss : 32.11%
Present rate : 0 mA
Charging state : charged
Battery type : rechargeable, LION
Model number : ZL02
Serial number : 20619
Battery #2 : slot empty
<snip>
A 32% capacity loss which translates to an uptime of almost an hour being lost. Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour and is there anything that I can do to curtail this sort of battery loss ?
