   Reporting that the battery is empty is an FSO bug. The 2.6.24 kernels do
report battery voltage for all batteries, including "alien" ones, but that
has disappeared in the 2.6.28 series. It's on my TODO list to get it back
in.

   Definitely a silly bug - for instance, how are you supposed to be able to
charge a depleted battery in the Neo, then?

   How do you know it doesn't charge the battery?

   Which kernel are you using?
