Yesterday I updated the battery-stats package in Debian with a few -patches sent to me by skilled and enterprising users. There are a few -user nice and visible changes. First of all, both the desktop menu -entries now work. A design flaw in one of the script made it fail if -no controlling TTY was available. So the script worked when called -from the command line, but not when called from the desktop menu.

Yesterday I updated the +battery-stats +package in Debian with a few patches sent to me by skilled and +enterprising users. There were some nice user and visible changes. +First of all, both desktop menu entries now work. A design flaw in +one of the script made the history graph fail to show up (its PNG was +dumped in ~/.xsession-errors) if no controlling TTY was available. +The script worked when called from the command line, but not when +called from the desktop menu. I changed this to look for a DISPLAY +variable or a TTY before deciding where to draw the graph, and now the +graph window pop up as expected.

The next new feature is a discharge rate estimator in one of the -graphs (the one showing the last few hours). It also got colors -showing charging in blue and discharge in red. The percentages of -this graph is relative to last full charge, not battery design +graphs (the one showing the last few hours). New is also the user of +colours showing charging in blue and discharge in red. The percentages +of this graph is relative to last full charge, not battery design capacity.

The other graph show the entire history of the collected battery -statistics, comparing it to the design capacity of the battery to see -how the battery life time get shorter over time. The red line in this -graph is what the previous graph considers 100 percent: +statistics, comparing it to the design capacity of the battery to +visualise how the battery life time get shorter over time. The red +line in this graph is what the previous graph considers 100 percent: -

You can see here that I only charge the battery to 80 percent of last -full capacity, and how the capacity of the battery is shrinking. :(

The last new feature is in the collector, which now will handle more -hardware models. On some hardware, Linux power supply information is -stored in /sys/class/power_supply/ACAD/, while the collector -previously only looked in /sys/class/power_supply/AC/. Now both are -checked.

If you are interested in how your laptop battery is doing, please check out the battery-stats in Debian unstable, or rebuild it on Jessie to get it working on -Debian stable. :) The upstream source is available from -github. +Debian stable. :) The upstream source is available from github. Patches are very welcome.
