Hi. I think I have a problem with the battery of my new notebook. It is an HP Pavilion dv6599.
The output of /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info is:

Code:
present:                 yes
design capacity:         6000 mAh
last full capacity:      4448 mAh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          14800 mV
design capacity warning: 227 mAh
design capacity low:     137 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  10 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  25 mAh
model number:            Primary
serial number:           
battery type:            LION
OEM info:                Hewlett-Packard


The last full capacity is significantly smaller than the design capacity. Is it normal or I have to use the warranty?

Could someone say me if the battery is broken or not?

It will take a couple of charges before it reaches the full capacity. thats pretty normal for LION batteries.

Running Gentoo-2.6.21-r4 (again as 2.6.22 kernels hogs CPU), all but SD reader works fine.
