My Introduction

I hade huge problems with my battery. The runtime of the device was very bad. I always wondered about the drain(%) others where reporting.
So I searched the logfiles, in the filesystem and the kernel to find the source of the problems.
By doing this I started a thread Find out how good/bad your battery is in precentral about my findings.
With the help of the community we where able to understand a lot of the battery and found a way to recalibrate it.
Finally I build the app Dr.Battery to have an easy way to analyze and recalibrate the battery.
With the nice help of Rod Whitby I distributed the sources into the WebOS Internals git repository.
I started a wiki in the Hardware section with an detailed explanation about how the battery in the pre and pixi works, and how Dr.Battery is using this info.
