AppleACPIBatteryManager for Tiger and Leopard

[sonotone]

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.

Fixed with B3.

THX.

[Wiwi]

The values of 3828 and 4212 are read from your BIOS/ACPI table.

 

Chun-Nan

 

 

That means there is a BIOS/ACPI error ??

Strange...I haven't this issue with hacked PM and ACPIPowersource... There is any solution to force good reading ??

MAc should read 0 instead of 3828.... (full charge)

 

Good news, time is very accurate on battery ! Just percentage, according to the precedents values...

 

Thanks !

[eraserhead77]

sweet 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

 

So far it works great for me, Thank you for this

 

The only thing I have noticed is I also read 83% when the battery is fully charged.

Hi i tryied on Tiger but the kext won't load at boot.

 

Hi inku,

 

I have uploaded b4 edition. You can give it a try. If it still cannot be loaded, you probably need to compile the source code yourself. (Make sure you don't have ApplePowerSource installed.)

 

Chun-Nan

 

i got this

 

AppleACPIBattery: Battery found

AppleACPIBattery: Battery State 0x02.

AppleACPIBattery: Battery is charging.

 

Hi xfidelity,

 

I have uploaded b4 edition. You can give it a try. If you are still not getting information like using other editions, check your ioreg_sp.txt and look for the information like:

 

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

| | | {

| | | "IOProviderClass" = "IOACPIPlatformDevice"

| | | "IOProbeScore" = 0x0

| | | "CFBundleIdentifier" = "com.apple.driver.AppleACPIBatteryManager"

| | | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory"

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

| | | "IONameMatched" = "PNP0C0A"

| | | "IOClass" = "AppleACPIBatteryManager"

| | | "IONameMatch" = "PNP0C0A"

| | | "IOPowerManagement" = {"CurrentPowerState"=0x1}

| | | "Battery Status" = (0x80,0x0,0x1130,0x2b5c)

| | | }

If possible, post your results here. Thanks.

Hi Wiwi,

 

Right now, I am not sure if it is really due to reading error or it just represents your battery's real capacity.

I have uploaded b4 edition. You can give it a try. Also, you can check battery informaiton on ioreg_sp.txt

 

Chun-Nan

[eraserhead77]

Tried the b4, still no changes for me, 100% charge reads as 83%

I tried that too but still the same,did you got it to work on Tiger? If you did can you please post your files so i can give it a try.Thanks.

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 BugsBunny,

 

Great, it works. However, it is still beta version. Any feedbacks/bugs are welcome.

OkeeDoke - Bugs says, no Bugs ..

 

Chun-Nan, are you running a Toshiba Laptop? If so, which model?

[Wiwi]

Beta 4 donesn't change anything for me...Always percentage/ChargeRemaining error... I was wondering, if it bios reading error... can it be caused by SMBios ? I use vanilla with enabler from SuperHai..

But hacked PM worked good...

 

[in FULL CHARGE]

 

Informations sur la charge :

Charge restante (mAh) : 3818

Charge complète : Oui

En cours de chargement : Non

Capacité de charge complète (mAh) : 4195

[frauhottelmann]

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!

[~Eureka]

I tried that too but still the same,did you got it to work on Tiger? If you did can you please post your files so i can give it a try.Thanks.

 

Hi inku,

 

That is odd. The files I use are the ones I posted. Which kernel of Tiger are you using now? Maybe you can compile the source code yourself to see if it will work.

 

Chun-Nan

 

OkeeDoke - Bugs says, no Bugs ..

 

Chun-Nan, are you running a Toshiba Laptop? If so, which model?

 

Hi BugsBunny,

 

Yes, I have 2 Toshiba notebooks. One is Satellite M100 and the other is Satellite M105.

 

Chun-Nan

 

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.

 

Chun-Nan

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>

| | | {

| | | "IOProviderClass" = "IOACPIPlatformDevice"

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

Could you kindly tell me how I can do that?

Hi BugsBunny,

 

Yes, I have 2 Toshiba notebooks. One is Satellite M100 and the other is Satellite M105.

.. congrats ..

[dong]

not working on thinkpad T60, it seems only working on Toshiba laptop.

Also my wireless network became unstable after this kext installed, some power manage problem?

.....

 

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.

Hi nickhe,

 

You probably need to check your file permission.

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.

 

Chun-Nan

 

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.

.....

 

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.
