Version 1.2.0
I have updated my good ol' ACPIBattery.kext, changed name and should run slicker. There might still be some bugs to iron out so test at own peril.

What does this thing do?
Interface between ACPI control method batteries and OS X powermanagement controls. Basically get the battery icon.

Where to get it?
Downloads, and support is to be done at http://www.superhai.com/ Source is available from same place.

Doesn't work?
You can post bug report at http://www.superhai.com/.
Please read this post before posting (explains how you can get the required debug information).

System Requirements?

• ACPI Control Method Battery
• Original OS X PowerManagement.bundle for 10.5.x (no hacks or tweaked must be applied)

Any ideas for improvements? Tell me

Just wanted to inform that I have started beta testing of some new kexts and if you want to try, read this.
For the moment I am beta testing VoodooBattery and VoodooPowerMini for Snow Leopard.

Great.

Could you please look into this?
Thanks in advance.

Working great, thanks.

Perfect!

It is uploaded now. Rushing me so much... lol



It is voodoo, it is magical and mystical - if i told you it wouldnt be voodoo anymore.

Thank you very much mister Superhai !

This is working perfectly on the Wind with 6 cells battery. And that is showing exact informationd about battery in the system proffiler.

I hope that VoodooHDA will have the same magic !

Bye.

Hi SuperHai... I didn't received the email confirmation for register to your forum...

2 issues for me :
BAD mAh detection (needs to be devided ?), and VoodooPower doesn't seems to know anymore i'm on battery when i unplug AC... (It doesn't limit itself to Battery settings... I use the last AnV version... EDIT: same with yours...)

Sorry to post here...

Ill check if there is any failure message? Sure you entered correct email? I found a small bug a < turned to > which affects thw batteries with mW readouts. Should work better now. For the other case, try the debug version and post output from the kext while you plug out ac cord.

no battery icon on hp530

VoodooPower have been updated so it detects A/C and Battery from this kext.

HI all,

great Kext

Well on HP NC6400, i've got icon,

but there's an issue in the remaining time. It seems to be "reversed".

Now, i'm At 99%, and i've 4 minutes of aunotmy. And i had a message saying , the laptop is running out of battery and will shutd down...

What's the Pb plz ?

hey,

first of all, great kext; boot is faster and this is the first time I've seen the Time option working on the battery meter for the Inspiron 1525.

I do have a problem when charging on AC plugin, the time till charged goes to 10 minutes and the percentage freezes at whatever was displaying when plugged in. for example, start charging at 30%, battery meter displays 30% and 10 min remain till full charge. percentage does not refresh until AC is unplugged. Is there a way to fix this?
It may be my fault due to old AppleACPIPlatform.kext, I am not sure if I have stock version and have not been able to track down original. Would love to get this working, I've never had the battery meter with all functions on my hackbook.

tested on my hp dv5t
works good when battery installed before OS boots
but if i don't install the battery and boot, there's no any icon in the menu bar.

works perfect on my samsung r560. see at sig. thnx keep up the damn good work

works great
Thank You

Should I just be able to install the Battery and Power kexts on my Jas 10.5.4 installation?

Working great over here on my Packard Bell EasyNote MZ-35 200.
Keep up the great work
Also enables me to use AppleACPIACAdapter (through DSDT mod...)

I dont know why but if I dont use this kext, my laptop will make high frequency sound from mainboard. That's scared me.

Same issue for my 1000h

Any idea?

Fixed with the version enik put into his package:

http://www.enik.ch/2009/03/osx-leopard-105...-the-eee-1000h/

Don't know why the original version doesn't work!

EDIT: In fact this is random sometimes it refreshes sometimes it doesn't! I'm a bit lost!

Working on Hp Pavilion dv6000(6628us) iAtkos5i distro
Thanks

Not working on my Gigabyte M912x.
Not sure why.
Do I just have to install this whit kext_helper?
i see the kext loading but it gives some errors.
Before update from 10.5.6. i had two icons.
Any ideas?

For the moment I am beta testing VoodooBattery and VoodooPowerMini for Snow Leopard.

On my Snow Leopard Installation (on a Toshiba L300), the SL Kext for VoodooBattery only works if I enable the "-f" boot option (and I'm currently running 32bit mode).

Is there any way to fix is? I've tried a number of things. When I don't use the -f flag on boot, the battery icon does not appear and if I click the checkbox for it under system preferences -> energy saver it simply won't stay checked off.

Any thoughts?
