On my thinkpad it takes maybe five seconds for it to go from -1 to an estimate. Also hw.acpi.battery.state=0 for me equals "AC plugged in and battery full". I have this in my .xinitrc to monitor my battery ( in a loop which then uses xsetroot to show the info ): case `sysctl -n hw.acpi.battery.state` in 0) batstate="AC full" ;; 1) batstate="`sysctl -n hw.acpi.battery.time` m" ;; 2) batstate="AC charing" ;; Best regards Andreas
