What I have been able to find out so far is, that these laptops feature a 'smart battery'. For these battery there is currently no driver, but Shaohua Li from this list considers writing one. I would be very grateful, if you really do this :). I tried the driver from ftp://ftp.poupinou.org/acpi/i2c-acpi-ec.c. It correctly detects the battery, but tells me that there is no module 'smartbatt'. I guess this is the intended behaviour. If there is something I can do in order to get a driver for my smart battery (provide information, test drivers, ...), just tell me.
