[gpm] Remaining time, two batteries.

[andreas netclips se]

Hi

I just upgraded to Ubuntu Gutsy, and got the new Power Manager 
(2.20.0). First of all I think it has lots of improvements.

But I have problems with the remaining time calculations as I use two 
different batteries (one standard and one high capacity). My guessing 
is that the power manager has calibrated for the standard battery and 
is not aware of the change of battery.

With the high cap.-battery I now get indication of 15 mins left at 28% 
capacity. Even tho during the discharge of this battery I had about 2 
mins for every %.

When checking with the gnome-power-bugreport.sh (end of mail) the 
report from the battery is:
battery.remaining_time = 2926  (0xb6e)  (int)
witch I guess is in seconds and therefore 49 mins. Wich corrolates with 
the graphs in the power-manager.

My request is simply to make the power manager to be aware of different 
batteries and calibrate for them individually.

Thanks,
Andreas Gustafsson
