Dead battery
A little while ago, it started behaving strangely during charges, and the time the laptop would run on battery dropped significantly. Now, it seems to be just dead:
$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: no
The sad thing is this battery is (only) 3 years old, while the battery in my other laptop, more than 6 years old, is still alive (though it would empty in half an hour).

Just interested what laptop model is the “dead” battery from and what model is the “other” laptop?
Many thanks for your work.

Vaio VGN-S70B for the dead battery (which now appears in /proc/acpi, but still doesn’t charge) and Vaio PCG-GR7F for the other.
