.Sh NAME
.Nm acpi_battery
.Nd ACPI battery management subsystem
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device acpi"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
is a driver for battery management features of the ACPI module.
.Pp
An ACPI-compatible battery device supports either a Control
Method Battery interface or a Smart Battery subsystem interface.
The former is accessed by the AML
.Pq ACPI Machine Language
code control methods,
and the latter is controlled directly through the ACPI EC
.Pq Embedded Controller
typically via an SMBus interface.
.Pp
This driver supports the
.Xr sysctl 8
and
.Xr ioctl 2
interfaces as well as the
.Xr devd 8
event notification interface.
.Sh IOCTLS
Every ioctl for the
.Nm
driver takes a single integer value for the battery unit
number as an argument,
and returns a specific structure for each request.
A special unit number
.Dv ACPI_BATTERY_ALL_UNITS
specifies all of the attached units
and reports accumulated information.
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Dv ACPIIO_BATT_GET_UNITS Vt int
Returns the number of battery units in the system.
The unit number argument will be ignored.
.It Dv ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BATTINFO Vt struct acpi_battinfo
Returns the following:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va cap
Battery capacity in percent,
.It Va min
Remaining battery life in minutes,
.It Va state
Current status of the battery encoded in the following:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Dv ACPI_BATT_STAT_DISCHARG Pq 0x0001
Battery is discharging,
.It Dv ACPI_BATT_STAT_CHARGING Pq 0x0002
Battery is being charged, or
.It Dv ACPI_BATT_STAT_CRITICAL Pq 0x0004
Remaining battery life is critically low.
.El
.Pp
Note that the status bits of each battery will be
consolidated when
.Dv ACPI_BATTERY_ALL_UNITS
is specified.
.It Va rate
Current battery discharging rate in mW.
.Li -1
means not discharging right now.
.El
.It Dv ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BIX Vt struct acpi_bix
Returns battery information given by the ACPI
.Li _BIX Pq Battery Information
object,
which is the static portion of the Control Method
Battery information.
In the case of a Smart Battery attached to
SMBus or a Control Method Battery with a
.Li _BIF
object,
this ioctl will build a
.Vt struct acpi_bix
structure based on the obtained information
and return it.
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va rev
Revision number of the object.
There are the following well-known values:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Dv ACPI_BIX_REV_0 Pq 0x0000

.Li _BIX
object in ACPI 4.0.
.It Dv ACPI_BIX_REV_1 Pq 0x0001

.Li _BIX
object in ACPI 6.0.
.It Dv ACPI_BIX_REV_BIF Pq 0xffff
A
.Li _BIX
object built from the
.Li _BIF
object found on the system.
.El
.Pp
Note that this field should be checked by using
.Fn ACPI_BIX_REV_MIN_CHECK var rev
macro when checking the minimum revision number.
.It Va units

capacity and charge rate encoded in the following:
.Bl -tag -width indent

.Pq power
.It ACPI_BIX_UNITS_MA Pq 0x00000001

.Pq current
.El
.Pp
Note that capacity is expressed in mWh or mAh,
and rate is expressed in mW or mA,
respectively.
.It Va dcap
The Battery's design capacity,
which is the nominal capacity of a new battery.
This is expressed as power or current depending on
the value of
.Va units .
.It Va lfcap
Predicted battery capacity when fully charged.
Typically this will decrease every charging cycle.
.It btech

.Bl -tag -width indent
.It 0x00000000 Primary cell Pq non-rechargable
.It 0x00000001 Secondary cell Pq rechargable
.El
.It Va dvol

which is the nominal voltage of a new battery.
.It Va wcap

When a discharging battery device reaches this capacity,
notification is sent to the system.
.It Va lcap
Design capacity of low.
.It Va cycles
.Pq rev 0 or newer
The number of cycles the battery has experienced.
A cycle means an amount of discharge occurred which was
approximately equal to the value of Design Capacity.
.It Va accuracy
.Pq rev 0 or newer
The accuracy of the battery capacity measurement,
in thousandth of a percent.
.It Va stmax
.Pq rev 0 or newer
The Maximum Sampling Time of the battery in
milliseconds.
This is the maximum duration between two consecutive
measurements of the battery's capacities specified in
.Li _BST .
If two succeeding readings of
.Li _BST
beyond this duration occur,
two different results can be returned.
.It Va stmin
.Pq rev 0 or newer
The Minimum Sampling Time of the battery in
milliseconds.
.It Va aimax
.Pq rev 0 or newer
The Maximum Average Interval of the battery in
milliseconds.

even if this object is not available and a
.Li _BIX
object is found.
.It ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BST Vt struct acpi_bst
Returns battery information given by the ACPI
