I believe that the problem is related to Windows, but an option in VMware to choose which battery to report info could be a solution too.Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery is a windows driver. I tested on clean install with VMware Workstation 15.1.0 and only 3 drivers (latest versions) installed: Intel MEC driver (chipset), Free Fall Data Protection (chipset / protect hdd from damage caused by drops), NVIDIA driver (display).įurthermore I have the latest BIOS version, and configured in legacy or UEFI mode doesn't change anything.

However, I found that: Everything is working when on Win7 host (no need to tamper the device manager), but it's not the case on Win8.1 and Win10 hosts. Thus under the 'Batteries' section in device manager there are 3 devices named 'Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery', each one is related to one battery port, and because I only have one battery (showed as battery #1 in taskbar notification area), I logically disabled the last two 'Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery' in device manager. This result in 3 battery detectable in Windows. Some laptops (like E6420 and E6430) can use 3 battery at the same time: one in the usual battery slot, one in the DVD drive bay, and one in the docking port. I have the same problem as described, 'No battery is detected' in Win7 all Guest (Win8.1 / DELL E6430), and after spending several days on trying to find a permanent solution I finally succeed: I know I shouldn't reply a 6 years old post, but because it's the first and only result on google when searching for this problem, I'll make an exception
