PRB: Windows 98 - Battery Status Is Slow to Update

 * }

Q195309

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Win32 Device Driver Kit (DDK) Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
On Windows 98 ACPI systems the battery status, such as whether the battery is charging or discharging, is slow to update.

CAUSE
Under Windows 98, a battery status change (that is, charging or discharging) is not reflected in the user interface until the battery driver polls for status. An event such as a power source change (for example, AC attach or detach) typically triggers a General Purpose Event (GPE) and cause the user interface to update immediately.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
