A second battery for my laptop. I&#8217;ve been working on various power management solutions in KDE in the past years, and they all had one problem: I couldn&#8217;t really test if everything worked with more than one battery plugged in. In that area, I always depended on others to help me debugging and fixing problems, not the ideal workflow, so some bugs have gone uncaught in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Not anymore! Now I&#8217;ve got this second battery in the optical drive slot of my dear Thinkpad T60, I can immediately identify problems with displaying the charge rate of more than one battery, and I did. One bug displaying a wrongly formatted translation string in the battery&#8217;s popup has already bitten the dust, within one hour of delivery of the second battery, I committed a patch to the 4.4 branch and trunk of KDE SC. As far as I can see, showing the charge rate of multiple batteries basically works. I&#8217;ll probably find more room for improvement as I use this new setup, but for now, rejoice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, a package was delivered to my house containing an item which I&#8217;ve been missing for a long time, years in fact.
