True, but its voltage can be used as an estimate. Most PC MB still around monitor the supply voltages, some also of the battery feeding the RTC. If you have the (Debian) package 'lm-sensors' installed, look for
sensors[<pid>]: Vbat: +2.91 V (min = +2.70 V, max = +3.63 V) ALARM
in /var/log/syslog.
- riobard 3y agoRan `sensors` and it only shows CPU core temps. I guess my MB does not report RTC battery voltage?
- guenthert 3y agoOne thing are the sensors, 'nother thing is the software. Have you configured the lm-sensors package (by running `sensors-detect`) yet? https://hwmon.wiki.kernel.org/lm_sensors https://hwmon.wiki.kernel.org/lm_sensors also has a FAQ.
- riobard 3y agoYes I did run `sensors-detect` previously and just to be sure ran it again. No voltage sensors on this box unfortunately :(
