Hey

Ive got a my new acer 8000 laptop and Im having some problems with
getting battery status info.
Here are outputs from /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state with AC-adapter
plugged in and without:
=============================================================
% cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state

present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charging
present rate: 0 mA
remaining capacity: 3706 mAh
present voltage: 0 mV

% cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: discharging
present rate: 0 mA
remaining capacity: 3720 mAh
present voltage: 0 mV
============================================================
To compare, here is the same output from my friends ibm r51:
============================================================
% cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charging
present rate: 30159 mW
remaining capacity: 3840 mWh
present voltage: 11640 mV

% cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: discharging
present rate: 20414 mW
remaining capacity: 4350 mWh
present voltage: 11101 mV
=============================================================

As you note my present rate and present voltage doesnt seem to be
detected. This make trouble for userspace apps to read and calculate
correct status. What info do you need from me?

Regards
