Battery level crazy -- 25-hours left

[KT-GB-12]

Hi,

The battery icon on the lower right is orange indicating it is getting very low, but the pop-up shows 25-hours left.

It is plugged into the power, charging and when I dual-boot back to win10, it shows 87% and 18-minutes to full charge.

Is this because I have Mint 20.1 in a Ryzen 5, 4500 laptop or what?

How can I get it to read correctly?

Thanks

1st thing you should do with any post asking for help, is follow the link above how to get help

and give us your system info, without that, we can't do anything.


In Terminal do the following

Code: Select all

inxi -Frzzz

then highlight all of that code and click on the </> icon above and use Control-V to insert the code in a new post.
do NOT just paste all of that code into a blank post, it is hard to read, it looses formatting.

The few times over the years I have asked for help and after doing the "inxi" thing I never got any help after spending the time to do that.

The laptop in question has no Internet access so I have to type in the stuff by looking at VNC screen. Can you be specific on what you need?

It's now even crazier.

You can take photographs of the inxi -Fxxxrz output and post them.

You might be having issues because of the kernel you have installed. The short-hand you used to describe your laptop doesn't give us the information we would need.

It's could be due to that, but we don't know your kernel version, which is what the information you've been asked to post will tell us. You should be using kernel 5.8 or 5.11.

Almost sounds like the powersupply isn't supplying sufficient wattage to both charge the battery and run the PC ... so the deficit is being made up by the battery.

How old is the AC adapter? What's it plugged into?
