Battery Meter via DSDT...

I'm attempting to rid my system of the VoodooBattery.kext. I get KPs when plugging/unplugging the AC adapter if done more than twice while awake. DSDTSE suggests a patch but I can't seem to get it to function. Any suggestions?

It's possible for a Smart battery patch, but I don't think the Patch above will work correctly.
