Hi all,
Yesterday for some reason my manjaro build would not recognize my battery charging. So here are my specs

Now here’s my problem. My battery’s have been stuck at 6% no matter how long I use my computer / charge it. I decided to look in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent and here is what I find
POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT0
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Unknown
POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1
POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion
POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=219
POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=11550000
POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=10973000
POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_NOW=0
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=24020000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=20050000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=1160000
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=5
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL=Normal
POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=01AV419
POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=SANYO
POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER= 1118
Notice the SUPPLY_STATUS is UNKNOWN even though I am currently charging my computer. Now when I unplug the charger:
POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT0
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Discharging
POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1
POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion
POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=219
POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=11550000
POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=10989000
POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_NOW=0
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=24020000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=20050000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=1160000
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=5
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL=Normal
POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=01AV419
POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=SANYO
POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER= 1118
It now realizes it is discharging. What is going on here? What can I do to fix this. I do not believe that the batteries are dead yet as there are two of them and I have owned this machine for less than 2 years. Thanks!
