Looks like I still need to go through WMI and ACPI documentation to have better understanding.

Then I can make this successful.

I tried VoodooBattery, which worked great (it told me my battery was toast, lol), but then it kernel panic'ed HARD and I had to repair my disk, so I won't be using that again.

Yeah, it's a low priority for me too. Just playing around.

I guess to make it working, maybe need to determine which query method it use. I said that because I found that there are query method that called ADP1 & BAT0 device. Just don't know what it do & what it contribute to battery detection.

I'm going to grab the acpi implementers guide.

I agree.
