Why gnome-power-manager does not show correct estimated time left when system has 2 batteries ?

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

When unplugged from AC, RHEL6 reports only 2.5 - 3 hrs of charge remaining which is not accurate because there are 2 batteries with 2.5 - 3 hrs of charge each.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
  • X240 with 2 batteries.
