For my battery, the old /proc interface provides a lot more
information. I don't know, if that's related to my hardware or a
general issue of the new sysfs interface. (See the attached files).
As battery.charge_level.design is missing for sysfs, g-p-m displays a
wrong battery capacity (1.3 Wh, but it's 19,1 Wh).
battery.charge_level.current seems to be incorrect too, for sysfs.
Is this a bug in the kernel regarding the new sysfs interface?
Atm at least I'd prefer the values from /proc over /sys.

Cheers,
Michael
