Description Sudhir Khanger 2014-11-14 17:56:02 UTC
1. System is suppose to hibernate at 5%. Currently battery level is going down below 5% and then system would flicker and shutdown.

2. Battery status is being misreported. When discharging it tell time to discharge 1:52:25 and when charging it tells 1:52:25. As far as I can correct battery percentage is being reported. See the screenshot http://imgur.com/UqRcyCl and http://i.imgur.com/D7Yj6wA.png

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. check battery monitor and upower -d values while charging and discharging
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Battery level goes below 5% and system shuts down.
Misreporting battery level

Expected Results:  
System should hibernate at value set in system settings. Should report accurate battery level.

Some folks have reported similar problems in 4.14.1. It could be related.

Can you reproduce the issue with the just released PowerDevil 5.1.2? There have been fixes to the upower backend not properly updating batery status on newer upower versions (that is the remaining time issue you saw, potentially didn't update percentage either). Thanks!

I am no longer able to replicate it with powerdevil-5.2.0
