My rate is around 11475 mW as I write this, with the screen on low brightness, wifi on, touchpad off, and USB trackball connected:
Code:
$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: discharging
present rate: 11475 mW
remaining capacity: 81210 mWh
present voltage: 16949 mV
If I turn off wifi and disconnect all USB devices, I can sometimes get it to go as low as 10500 mW.
To check if the nvidia card is actually off, this is what I do:
Code:
$ lspci | grep 310M
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev ff)
If the two characters after "rev" are "ff", you're good to go. Anything else, the card is still on.
Battery life? I've never measured it scientifically, but in real life internet use (some Youtube, some reading, some posting), I'm guessing at least 6 hours.
