Power Draw
#7
An update since it's been a while since I started the thread:


After installing (LXDE) Manjaro It became a little better. The battery life indicator will show around 7 hours when first starting the laptop after charging over night with screen low, bluetooth off and cpus on powersave. In real world terms this translates to about 3 hours of writing code and surfing the web. My main worry at the moment with Manjaro is that every time I start it (or log in) it shows two dialogs warning me about critical battery, does anyone else have that and how can I get rid of them?

They say:
"WARNING: Your battery is running low. You should consider plugging in or shutting down your computer soon to avoid possible data loss."
And the other one (this dialog is always right under the first one, it's seen it after closing the first:
"WARNING: Your battery has reached critical status. You should plug in or shutdown your computer now to void possible data loss."

The current upower -d log:
