Hi,

We just posted a new version of the Battery MIB I-D.

Please find it at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-eman-battery-mib-01.txt

We added objects providing a battery ID and a firmware version in this update of the draft.

Here are the remaining open issues:
   1.  Define Charging Cycle
   2.  Writable Notification thresholds
   3.  Re-arming batteryLowNotification
   4.  Add Charging Data of Batteries?
   5.  Add batteryHealth?

So far we have not received much feedback on the issues.
Please help us solving them.

Regarding issue 1. we have not found a common definition for a charging cycle. The new version has some definition from Apple but maybe it is best to leave this manufacturer definable and only specify one in case the manufacturer does not define one. Other opinions?

Regarding issue 4. we propose to not include properties such as boost voltage as these seem to be relevant to the local charger but less so for monitoring purposes.

Feedback on all open issues and the document as such are of course highly welcome. If you could provide feedback on the draft soon, then we might be able to create another updated version just before the cut-off.

Best,

The authors
