Problem description: Currently PowerTop is reporting the wrong battery discharge rate for my system. Notebook: P150EM Battery model: P150HMBAT-8 PowerTOP version v2.8 openSUSE Leap 42.3 Kernel: 4.4.103-36-default PowerTop output: The battery reports a discharge rate of 485 mW The estimated remaining time is 122 hours, 25 minutes upower output (still a little bit off, but way more accurate): ~ # upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 native-path: BAT0 vendor: Clevo CO. model: X51 power supply: yes updated: Wed Jan 3 20:14:27 2018 (56 seconds ago) has history: yes has statistics: yes battery present: yes rechargeable: yes state: discharging warning-level: none energy: 56.0624 Wh energy-empty: 0 Wh energy-full: 59.866 Wh energy-full-design: 65.12 Wh energy-rate: 56.2992 W voltage: 14.8 V time to empty: 59.7 minutes percentage: 93% capacity: 91.9318% technology: lithium-ion icon-name: 'battery-full-symbolic' Anyone knows how PowerTop obtains the battery discharge rate? I'm guessing that "485 mW" is hard-coded somewhere (not necessarily in PowerTop), it never changes. Kind regards, -- Anthony Accioly
