The Message at the end of demo MorphOS says that the same message will pop up again if there is a battery or other hardware related issue.

For now, I am worried about the battery. It was at 99% but now it is at 94% and yes it is plugged in.

What happens if Registration thinks the battery is bad and it won't register? Or is it simple as replace the battery?

Quote:

The battery warning is Efika related. The Efika is changing its MAC address, when getting when battery power is getting low, which causes MorphOS to be unregistered until you perform some tricks and replace the battery. This is only effecting the Efika due its unique design and has nothing to do with the PowerBook or any other Mac.

If you register any other system it stays registered without any problem, even when using without any battery.

The issue you are reporting is caused by a miscalibrated battery. To fix this you need to recalibrate the battery.

This can be done by unplug the PowerBook and using MorphOS until the system shuts down by itself. Now you need to plug the power connector to load it.

Do not interrupt charging and do not start the PowerBook while charging. Afterwards you should get the full 100% again.

The problem is caused by aging of the battery. Even when used with plugged power the battery is aging. It looses capacity, so it charges to the real maximum level, while the battery ciruits *think* the actual maximum level is slightly higher.
