Hello! My battery in E330 works in last ML with one patch or kext (forgot). I will look at this!

(OFF!) Can you pls tell, how you could activate HD 4000 in our Intel Core i5-3210M?

New version of the battery manager kext is released. Version 1.40.

See post #1 for details.
 
Hi RehabMan,
I just installed ML10.8.4 on an oldish Acer 4830T (i5-2410m).
I installed your battery manager 1.40 (debug) and the stock AppleSmartBM.
Battery is not charging and I was hoping this new battery manager would help to find out what's wrong.
AC adapter plugged in and the menu bar shows:

My DSDT does not match your HP dsdt and was wondering if you can take a look to see it can be modded ?

Your DSDT needs to be patched for battery. Looks like it is the same as an Acer 5750g that I did. See: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-...50g-mountain-lion-unibeast-39.html#post662207

Thx for the quick reply.
After several hours of running your version 1.40, I did notice that the menu bar status had changed.
It now showed that the battery charge was 0% and that the Power Source was Power Adapter.
Interesting.

Any way, I used MaciASL to apply the patch you pointed out for Acer 5750g to my DSDT - no compile errors and quite clean.
Rebooted using the new DSDT.
Now there's a lot more battery debug output in the Console - constant and non-stop.
Here's a snap shot:

So, now the menu bar says that the battery is not charging (and charge at 0%), but the Console output (and the system Info) says that the battery is fully charged.

That is, some contradictory info.
Any idea what could be wrong ?

My patched DSDT attached.

It is not normally non-stop. Usually every 30 sec. Let's see what kexts are loaded:
Code: 
kextstat | grep -y battery

And it might be good to look at bdmesg output:
Code: 
bdmesg >~/Desktop/bdmesg.txt

Look at your desktop, compress bdmesg.txt and post bdmesg.txt.zip that results.

Also current battery status might be good:
Code: 
ioreg -n AppleSmartBattery -r AppleSmartBattery

I would guess that this is why it is showing 0% (fCurrentCapacity = 0):

Code: 
20/09/2013 16:21:06.000 kernel[0]: AppleSmartBatteryManager::getBatteryBST called
20/09/2013 16:21:06.000 kernel[0]: AppleSmartBattery::setBatteryBST: acpibat_bst size = 4

20/09/2013 16:21:06.000 kernel[0]: AppleSmartBattery: Battery is charged.

I'll take a look at your DSDT shortly...

I wonder if the ECON system memory is not being initialized. Try disabling the ECON test in _BIF/_BST.

Where you see:

Code: 
                        If (ECON)
                        {

In _BIF and _BST methods, change to:
Code: 
                        If (LOr(1, ECON))
                        {

Try that... that way the code in _BIF / _BST will execute no matter if ECON is non-zero or not.
 
Made those changes to _BIF/_BST but it had no impact.

What's strange is that the Voltage reported is 4987 mV and the Current is 0 mA.
These are not changing.
Seems battery is dead ?
