My machine: HP Probook 6560b with actual BIOS. Till now I used Windows 10 64 bit with original 11 years old battery from HP.
Now I switched to Kubuntu 23.04 (in dualboot with Win10). I didnt know if it is just coincidence, but in this moment my battery died (which had still good capacity and was working well, so it was surprise). Windows and Linux wrote "critical error".
Then I bought new unofficial cheap battery, but sufficient according to user ratings in the shop. It came about 40 percent charged from the shop. I used it and it was written "charging" or "not charging" and then I had to connect the cable few more times to get "charging".. BUT - even there is writen "charging", battery is not charging and percentage is not growing.
in the mean time my Windows shut down badly due to 0% battery so i would have to repair it with installation media which i don't have.. so i can't even test the behavior back in Windows..
Cable looks the same condition as before, so for me it looks that it is not issue of cable or adapter. But I have no other device with which I can confirm it.
Now my opinion is that maybe I have incorrect driver for Linux for battery management? But I ddint find how to try to update. Or any other ideas how to proceed, what to verify and how? Thank you very much.
