Hi guys,

Here is the beta AppleACPIBatteryManager I have been working on. It will work with original PowerManagement and you don't need AppleACPIPowerSource. Although some values may have "0" value, it should display "Time" and "Percentage" but I am not sue if it is accurate or not. Also, "Power source" should detect correctly and icon should change correctly. If you are using the notebook, you can give it a try.

It is based on original AppleSmartBatteryManager and linux driver. It should work both on Tiger and Leopard. (I used Tiger to compile the source code and it work on my 10.4.11 and 10.5.4)

Again, it is just the beta version and you need the original PowerManagement with it. ~~Make sure that you don't have AppleACPIPowerSource Installed or it will cause error.~~

Chun-Nan

Update: 7/6/2008
1. Using "fCurrentVoltage" to FAKE "fCurrentRate" if "fCurrentRate" is read as 0.

~~Click to view attachment~~

UPDATE: 7/7/2008
1. Using "fMaxCapacity" to FAKE "fCurrentRate" if "fCurrentRate" is read as 0.
2. Change battery dectection funcion. (battery inserted and removed)
2. Change poll time from 10 seconds to 30 seconds

~~Click to view attachment~~

UPDATE: 7/9/2008
1. Make sure "fMaxCapacity" is always equal to or larger than "fCurrentCapacity".

~~Click to view attachment~~

UPDATE: 7/10/2008
1. Added "Battery Information" and "Battery Status" so that it will show on ioreg.
2. Using "fMaxCapacity" to caculate remaning time while battery is charging.

~~Click to view attachment~~

UPDATE: 7/11/2008
1. Cleaned up some unused codes.
2. Tried to fix the percentage issue.

~~Click to view attachment~~

UPDATE: 7/13/2008
1. Serial Number will show type and serial number instead of 0 if it reads any data.
2. Tried to fix more than one battery bay issue by using "_UID" flag. (need feedbacks)

UPDATE: 7/21/2008
1. Tried to fix OSString/OSData issue on battery info. (need feedbacks)
2. Tried to fix more than one battery bay issue. (need feedbacks)

UPDATE: 7/21/2008
1. Tried to fix more than one battery bay issue by using "_STA" flag. (need feedbacks)

~~Click to view attachment~~

UPDATE: 7/26/2008
1. Added CycleCount caculation and CellVoltages information. (need feedbacks)
~~2. Added "SMBIOS Informaiton" table for MaxErr, SerialNumber, and ManufactureDate. (need feedbacks)~~

~~Click to view attachment~~

UPDATE: 7/29/2008
1. Using "fCurrentVoltage" to caculate temperature.
( [fCurrentVoltage * fCurrentRate] should be used to caculate temperature. However, when the battery is FULL, fCurrentRate will be 0 and will make temperature become 0. To make it simpe, just use fCurrentVoltage untill I find a better solution.)
2. Fixed wrong "Power Unit" issue.

~~Click to view attachment~~

UPDATE: 7/29/2008
1. Changed [class AppleACPIBattery] to [class AppleACPIBatteryDevice]. Hopefully, it will fix the random KP due to the duplicated class AppleACPIBattery while ApplePowerSource is also installed at the same time.
2. Tried to fix more than one battery bay issue by using "numBatteriesSupported()" first. When the returned value is more than 1, it will check "_STA" flag. Otherwise, it will skip the "_STA" flag check. Also, rewrote the "_STA" flag check function. (need feedbacks from those who has more than one battery bay in the notebook.)

~~Click to view attachment~~

UPDATE: 8/11/2008
1. Removed "_UID" flag and related function.
2. Improved battery inserted/removed detection function.
3. Set "fUnitFactor" to 1 if it is read/caculated as 0. (Make sure denominator is not 0)
4. Moved "setExternalChargeCapable" function from "setBatteryBIF" to "setBatteryBST" rountine.
5. Reset "fAverageRate" to 0 when the state of battery changes.

(Now it will show "Calculating" first, then "Time" later, while plugging in or pulling out the AC power, like my MacBook does.

)

UPDATE: 8/15/2008
1. Fixed long "Calculating" problem.

UPDATE: 10/25/2008
1. Fixed the problem that battery meter doesn't show 100% after finished charging.
2. Changed to only read last three bit for "fCurrentRate" in case that the value read from ACPI table is too big.

Good work, Chun-Nan!
It's a pity I already resolve a problem with battery indicator. I have other related question. Have you sources of IOSMBusFamily?
I see you got battery information from registry if present. Full solution will be rewriting hardware access to battery through SMBus.

I have a Super Baterry

Also I can't select Custom Scheme on Battery Icon Menu and pmset command on Terminal shows an error:

Hi macgirl,

That is interesting that you got 123% on battery. If possible, can you post the "Power" information here like I did on the 1st post.

I can select "custom" on Battery icon on my machine. I am not sure if it is related or not but are you using the original powermanagement? About pmset, I didn't get the error when I use "pmset -g". However, I will check it.

Hi sonotone,

I have updated b2 version. You can give it a try.

I think "123%" and "113%" probably have something to do with the values of "fMaxCapacity" or "fDesignCapacity" but I am not sure yet.

I, too, had a working battery indicator, but this looked pretty cool. Extracted vanilla AppleACPIPlatform.kext and PowerManagement.bundle, and installed the kext. I do have a battery/power meter again, but my Power panel is still odd:

Hi how do I Install it?????

Wiwi

Jul 8 2008, 12:48 PM

Unzip

be sure to delete ACPIPOwersource kext (in ACPIPlatform if you have it) before (KP in perspective)

Search into the build->release folder and copy the AppleACPIBatteryManager kext into your extensions folder (use Kexthelper can be good

).

Copy vanilla PowerManagement bundle into SystemConfiguration folder (The "/System/Library/" one), repair permissions in doubt, delete caches and reboot.

Test, and post your information (in system profiler) !

Then kiss Chun-Nan !

i'm gonna test it out now

what i have found:

battery source is detected even though power adapter is plugged in,
displays "Calculation..." when power is plugged in
when battery is fully charged, it shows 83% full
the calculation is not very accurate

hope this will allow you know what bugs to fix for the new release

Hi guys,

I have updated b3 edition. It will make sure "fMaxCapacity" is always equal to or larger than "fCurrentCapacity". It should fix the "percentage" issue on Energy Saver Panel.

BTW, the following inforamtion will always show 0 snice there is no data to be read.

Pack Lot Code: 0000

Firmware Version: 0000

Am I doing something wrong here?

Update: I reread post #13 by Wiwi and I saw this: delete ACPIPOwersource kext (in ACPIPlatform if you have it) before (KP in perspective). So I missed that step that's why I was getting KP. I couldn't locate ACPIPOwersource kext, but after googling, I saw that ACPIPOwersource kext was still in AppleACPIPlatform.

Now it does show the icon in the top bar and the correct percentage, but in system profiler I get an error! It gets an error during information fetching!

Hi frauhottelmann,

If possible, can you post the error messages or pictures so that I can try to find out the reason? Thanks.

Hi eraserhead77 & Wiwi,

If possible, check your ioreg_sp.txt and look for the information as following: (Battery Information & Battery Status when the battery is full charged):

| | +-o AppleACPIBatteryManager <class AppleACPIBatteryManager, registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain 6>

| | | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory"
| | | "Battery Information" = (0x1,0x1130,0x1130,0x1,0x2b5c,0x1a4,0x9c,0x108,0xec4,"PA3399U ","3658Q","Li-Ion","TOSHIBA")

I'm using b4 and getting interesting output on my system (Dell Latitude D830 with vanilla 10.5 install updated to 10.5.4 via software update.) It appears that my battery is not even installed, but I'm typing this message on it and it's not plugged in to AC power. I get a battery icon and the time appears to be fairly accurate. Must be a practical upshot of global warming

Wohoo! I finally got the battery to work now, and nomore KP! Here's my info:

.....

I'm not sure why my Battery Health says Fair. I hardly have the battery installed; it's always plugged straight into the AC outlet.

Hi extremeae,

That is what I found out on the source code related to how to determine the battery health.....

/* We must fend for ourselves and construct a poor/fair/good
estimate of battery health ourselves.

Our preferred formula says:
ratio = MaxCap / DesignCap
(ratio >= 80%) - Good Health
(ratio < 80%) && (CycleCount < 300) - Fair Health

A battery suffering permant battery failure will be labeled as 'Poor'

Always set Confidence to High Confidence.

Here's my ioreg info. It's showing two batteries, BAT0 & BAT1. BAT1 is an optional bay that has no battery in it. Maybe the System Profiler is picking the second battery rather than the first. Should it be showing info for both? Anyway, here's the output for both batteries.

Interesting data point. If I boot a vanilla OS X 10.5 install DVD using the DFE loader with Chun-Nan's ACPI Battery Manager kext, the battery shows the discharge state graphically. It doesn't when I'm running a full install.

Chun-Nan, here is my log, I'm running 10.5.4 on a Sony TZ150. Installed from 10.5.2, then 10.5.3 Kalyway Combo update and Apples 10.5.4 update:

Hi eraserhead77,

I have uploaded b5 editon. Give it a try to see if the percentage changed.

Hi SD Geek, dong & outZider,

Thanks for the data. I found that all of you have more than one battery bay. I think it might have something to do with the "blank" informaiton. I only have 1 battery bay on my notebook so I am not sure how to test it. However, I will look into it. Thanks.
