Dear Archers,
I am experiencing an awkward phenomenon with my system.
I first noticed that my battery icon (xfce4) wasn't displaying the right information and wasn't updating.
Then, I look deeper and try to see what "acpi -a -b" gives and I got the same problem as my battery icon.
For example, I turn on my laptop (ASUS 1015PN) on the battery (no AC). When it comes to the desktop the battery icon says "discharging, 100%". Ok for the first info but the second is wrong. Then I plug the AC charger and I still can see "discharging, 100%", there is no update.
From acpi command, I have the same behavior :
~ acpi -a -b
Battery 0: Discharging, 100%, 4200:00:00 remaining
Adapter 0: off-line
But my battery is correctly charging when the AC adapter is plugged and is correctly discharging when it is not. So I'm a bit lost right now...
Recently I tried a liveUSB Linux based on Ubuntu and during the live sessions, the battery status seems OK, so my archlinux install is involved.
I would appreciate any help, thank you in advance.

Hi, take a look at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ACPI_modules There Is an ACPI Kernel module for Asus laptops. Find out if it's being loaded at boot and if not, whether loading it fixes the problem.

I believe a similar problem was fixed in kernel 4.5.3-1

Dear droppost and skunktrader,
Thank you very much for taking time to help me.
The link droppost suggested was already included in my watch list and i didn't see anything missing to my point of view.
So I update my system and with the kernel v4.5.4-1, the problem was solved.
Kindest regards
