Download patchmatic: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-maciasl-patchmatic/downloads/RehabMan-patchmatic-2015-0107.zip
Extract the 'patchmatic' binary from the ZIP. Copy it to /usr/bin, such that you have the binary at /usr/bin/patchmatic.

In terminal,

if [ -d ~/Downloads/RehabMan ]; then rm -R ~/Downloads/RehabMan; fi
mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract

Note: It is easier if you use copy/paste instead of typing the commands manually.

Post contents of Downloads/RehabMan directory (as ZIP).

Also, post ioreg: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

And output from:

kextstat|grep -y acpiplat
kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu
kextstat|grep -y applelpc

Press F4 in main Clover screen (to gather ACPI/origin), post EFI/Clover folder.

Hi RehabMan,

I have Surface Pro 3 i5 and with the following battery issue.
MaxCapacity & DesignCapacity Value are not read by IOReg 0x0. and I believe this is why battery percentage does not work.

I believe the values are there but are not read by ACPIBatteryManager.kext v1.60 for some reason?
ACPIDebug: { "BIF0 _BIX static battery information 0x1", 0x1, }
ACPIDebug: { "BIF1 _BIX static battery information 0x15ab", 0x15ab, }
ACPIDebug: { "BIF2 _BIX static battery information 0x1516", 0x1517, }
ACPIDebug: { "BIF3 _BIX static battery information 0x1", 0x1, }
ACPIDebug: { "BIF4 _BIX static battery information 0x1db0", 0x1db0, }

Please see attached files

Use the debug ACPIBatteryManager.kext to determine which method(s) are failing.

I can see the evaluate object errors but how to follow that back?

Your DSDT needs patches... All the methods are failing...

Guys i've got an issue.

I'm trying to patch my DSDT for battery status with the appropriate patch i found on another thread but i get errors which i cannot go beyond. Also i applied the usb patch for el capitan using maciasl and after that the system reboots when i press shutdown so i manually power off.
The system is a Fujitsu AH552/sl but to my understanding it has the same battery as an AH531 hence the patch i'm trying to use.

I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me deal with those 2 issues

Hi,
i'm on El Capitan, and the ACPIBatteryManager.kext works fine with chameleon bootloader, but when i use clover it doesn't work.
I'm using the same file and DSDT.aml too.
Does anyone know what can be the problem?
Thanks

 

[MrDell]

I can't make battery percentage work
In IOREG the status says 0x0, so something is wrong.
With Chameleon works fine but i want it with clover.
Anyone can help me please?
