With all the recent news about laptop batteries suddenly exploding, it might be a good idea to determine the manufacturer and model number of the battery that’s currently connected to your laptop. A simple file, included with the 2.6 kernel that runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, can easily show this information on any laptop running with ACPI enabled:
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
Look for the “model number” and “OEM info” fields.
