Battery Name in HEX?

Post by EdgeSync »

Hey all,

I just purchased a Lenovo Legion Y470s, and put the latest version of Mint on it (VERSION="20.1 (Ulyssa)

One weird thing I've noticed, which I have never seen before on other installs (HP, Dell, Clevo laptops) is that my battery name displays in what appears to be HEX.

Decoded as:

I'm guessing this is being pulled from the hardware itself, so doubtful I can do anything to make it display correctly.

How would i query the battery hardware directly to see what data is returned?

Same happens on a Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G3 on Mint 20.3, 21.0 and 21.1.

It doesn't seem to be an issue regarding battery performance, still it looks odd.
