 |
|
hi, first time user. Installed gentoo on my laptop and everything went well. BUT, my battery health decreased by over 20%. Before running | Code: | | emerge -ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world |
, battery health was at 93%. After it finished, battery health dropped down to 70%... Pretty upsetting considering this is pretty much a brand new device. Is this expected? Was there another option I should have run, like --jobs or something? The laptop got pretty hot but a 20+ percent decrease seems rather excessive.
SOLVED: after letting my laptop sit overnight, energy_full went back up to it's original value. My (uneducated) guess is that since my charge was not at full when I started the command, it messed with this output as my battery would not increase in charge despite being plugged in, due to the system being under load.

How are you measuring 'battery health'?

lilfetus,
Welcome to Gentoo.
Battery health ls a complex thing to assess. It's related to the number of charge/discharge cycles among other things.
Do you mean 'state of charge' as indicated by your system?

Sorry for not being more direct, what I was referring to was the difference between energy-full and energy-full-design listed by upower. On KDE plasma, this is referred to as battery health, so just a little Freudian slip I guess. However, after letting my laptop sit overnight, energy_full went back up to it's original value.
My (uneducated) guess is that since my charge was not at full when I started the command, it messed with this output as my battery would not increase in charge despite being plugged in, due to the system being under load.
Thank you for the response! |
