[tlinux-users:08076] Re: Li-ion Batteries - Sony in a Toshiba?

Hey pip_squeak -

Best option for finding out OEM info for the battery - open a terminal, and type "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info".  This will give you information such as current charge, when it tells you it's low, the serial number, and the OEM manufacturer.

Hi all

Does anyone know who makes the Li-ion batteries in our vastly superior
Toshiba machines?

Toshiba are obviously capable of making the best, including batteries, but
sometimes lesser-marques components get included, e.g.  my Tablet Port*g*
has a non-Toshiba HDD. But the Li-ion battery? Mine does not have the
one-minute charge ability that the latest Toshiba cells are allegedly
capable of, so it could be ‘Sony’ (the horror, the horror…)

How do I find out for sure? 

Thanks
