Hi!

I've just purchased a new laptop and per the gentoo guide was checking out the laptop specs,

Code:

genjix@amir:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/CMB0/info
...
last full capacity:      4963 mAh


LG's website lists the battery's capacity as being 5200 mAh- is this accurate enough for me to believe I've been sold a dud battery and claim a new one?

Thanks!

Since it's within 5% of the stated capacity I highly doubt you'd have any joy with that. You could try though.
