Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 17, 2010 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2010 An alternative to VoodooBattery. Go to energy saver prefpane and check "show battery status on the menu bar" to activate. My system seems to boot faster. (For me there's usually a delay after loading pcmcia with voodoobattery.) maybe it will also help with people having issues with battery showingAppleACPIBatteryManager.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext for two weeks now but was never sure about if it changed anything. Good to see that you've noticed the differences in speed.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 18, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted December 18, 2010 Leon.. Mariuz you and I are testing it thats 3 Mariusz have you tried it in S/L/E without the nub kext part? It works perfect on my Intel GMA D620. when you install it in Extra it doesn't load properly because IOPci takes control first when PCMCIA kext is in E/E.
