Time-to-empty not accurate with dual-battery laptops.

Open pcchou opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

The time-to-empty displayed by this extension is simply adding up two battery's time-to-empty, but this value is higher than what it should be. Most dual-battery laptops will use a battery first, until it's empty, then another. When a battery is not on use, it's time-to-empty will become very big, because of a lower denominator.

The correct way to do this should be adding up the capacity of the batteries, then divide by the current power wattage.

Could you please specify which distro and Gnome version you are running?
