Version: 1.0 (using KDE 4.4.1) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs I have APC's UPS connected to my PC via USB cable. PowerDevil see battery and report them as Number of Batteries 1 (with or without apcupsd daemon). But, Battery Monitor plasmoid do not see that battery and do not react on changing cord/battery state from UPS and not showing battery state. Here is the answer from solid-hardware: Code: Select all solid-hardware query 'IS Battery' udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_51d_2_QB0429138064_if0_hiddev' And there are details for this item: Code: Select all udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_51d_2_QB0429138064_if0_hiddev' parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_51d_2_QB0429138064_if0' (string) vendor = '' (string) product = 'American Power Conversion Back-UPS CS 650 FW:817.v2.I USB FW:v2' (string) Battery.plugged = true (bool) Battery.type = 'UpsBattery' (0x2) (enum) Battery.chargePercent = 100 (0x64) (int) Battery.rechargeable = true (bool) Battery.chargeState = 'NoCharge' (0x0) (enum)
UPS batteries are out of scope for the battery applet, we're only dealing with so-called "primary batteries". This is a whishlist item / feature request.
