[NOT SOLVED BUT I GAVE UP] Lenovo T470S - Battery Patch Help

[hoaug]

Hello everyone. i just hackedintosh on my Lenovo T470S. Everything works perfectly except my Battery. it doesn't work.

 

Lenovo Thinkpad T470s
Processor and Chipset: Intel Core i5 6300u / Intel Skylake 100 series chipset
Graphics: Intel HD 520
Storage: SN530
RAM: 12 GB DDR4
1 x Synaptics SMBUS Trackpad + Trackpoint
1 x PS/2 Keyboard
1 x USB 3.0 card reader
3 x USB 3.0 type a ports
1 x TB3/USB C port
1 x HDMI port
1 x 3.5mm mic/headphone jack

 

 

I have researched and learned that my Laptop has 2 batteries and I have learned a bit of ACPI code and patched SSDT-BATC. I use SSDT-BATC included with ECEnabler.kext and Battery works

 

I thought everything was fine but no. I realized that my battery is only taking half its capacity. My battery as far as I know it has ~4k4 mAh but the macos side only receives ~2k mAh. I have searched and patched a lot but the number still only stops at ~2kmAh (sometimes down to 1k7). With such a battery capacity, I cannot use it without a charger. help me please. Thank you very much

 

Here are the SSDTs I use.

 

DSDT.amlSSDT-BATC.amlSSDT-BATT.amlSSDT-BATS.aml

 

And here are my EFI:

You can use it without charger. Just don't trust what hackintosh reported.

Look to your speedstep. Is it working or CPU frequency stay at maximum?

Test with

HWMonitorSMC2

[hoaug]

My hwmonitorsmc2 show that. does its OK?

my HW

@Slice  I have checked the frequency of the CPU, it works normally (not high) but I watch youtube for only 30 minutes and the battery runs out. this is definitely due to my dualbattery...but i cant patch it..don't know where is wrong..

[Slice]

Battery is not controlled by macOS at least on Hackintosh. It is just a source of energy.

Can you watch youtube in WIndows more then 30 minute?

 

I may propose to use my set on sensors including CPU sensor and the battery sensors. My version controls two batteries.

The link is in my signature. Remove VirtualSMC with all plugins and install my FakeSMC with IntelCpuMonitor, SMIMonitor (it si intended for Dell specifically), VoodooBatterySMC.
