28.Dt BATTERY_PMU 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm battery_pmu
32.Nd support for batteries and sensors in PCI-based Apple Powerbooks
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "battery* at pmu?"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38driver provides support for batteries and hardware sensors found
39in first generation PCI-based PowerBooks (i.e. Apple Powerbook
402400, 3400 and 3500 (also known as Original PowerBook G3).
41Currently it only exports a few sensors via the
42.Xr envsys 4
43interface, including battery charge, voltage, CPU and battery
44temperature and AC power availability.
45.Sh SEE ALSO
46.Xr envsys 4 ,
47.Xr pmu 4 ,
48.Xr envstat 8
49.Sh BUGS
50There is no APM emulation right now and the battery current sensor
51may return misleading or wrong data.
52This driver is considered preliminary and may be replaced at some
53point.
