My battery keeps staying at 94%… It does not show that my battery is charging even when I plug in the adapter.
^^ This is when plugged in…

Are you sure that your battery is ok?
I have had batteries in the past that have shown less than 100% … its pretty standard when laptop batteries start to wear out.
Yep, it’s completely fine. This laptop is quite new and I just switched from Windows 10, the indicator was working fine in Windows
^ AC Adapter online but battery not showing as charging in settings or power statistics ^
Did an upgrade of my Thinkpad T510 from 20.10 to 21.04. Upgrade went fine. However, the battery indicator on the top panel can display wrong information.
Was using the laptop on battery and it was down to 40%. I closed the lid and plugged it in.
Next day I opened the lid and the battery indicator showed 40% on the AC. the indicator did not have the charging icon. tlp-stat
Charge = 99.9 [%]
Capacity = 92.6 [%]
Booted the system and then the battery indicator was correct.
Yes, additional testing confirms that the battery applet? no longer functions correctly after putting laptop into sleep (via budgie menu) and then coming out of sleep.
I also tested with dual battery Thinkpad running 20.04. Only one battery shows being on AC while the other does not. Seems to come out of sleep correctly and reflect AC vs battery
It isnt the applet itself. I have been running 21.04 since early Feb and all is well including suspension resume.
The applet uses Upower to respond to battery events. So whatever is feeding Upower isnt being updated after a resume.
Guessing a kernel issue.
Are you still having battery applet issues with 22.04 or later?
If so please can you run
upower -d
before and after sleeping. Maybe there is a difference here we can identify.
Funny you should ask. Happen to be using my Thinkpad T510 today on battery mode. Applet said 65% but yellow waning light on the lid was blinking. So, did a boot and it would not boot until I plugged the laptop in to AC. Then it booted and showed 65% again but charging.
Per your request I did the upower -d before and after putting laptop into sleep mode and then did a diff on the files. Only the timestamps were different.
Thx. Yeah… as I thought. This isnt a upower issue. Its a kernel issue. The kernel isnt expressing the correct values that upower can see.
I am sure your right. This laptop has been sitting for a couple of weeks in sleep mode. I did a tlp-stat and it gave the same figures as the applet.
