battery legit or Lenovo has a kill switch ?
by galen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#562VD)
I have a Lenovo T500
and have bought an extended battery pack 71WH from a seemingly reputable Amazon seller. It use to run for an hour, year old
The laptop will charge [or reports to charge] the battery to 86%.
It now runs for 5 mins or less then machine powers down
I have Xubuntu power setting to alert on low battery,
there is no time t0 react
Does Lenovo detect this is a non OEM battery and shutsdown
or is battery reporting fake information?
