I tested this some more by observing the output of 'acpi -a'. When my battery is low the values (percentage, time remaining) jump.
Two minutes before my notebook suddenly shut down I got 00:05:00 minutes left, a few seconds later 00:04:34 minutes, then 00:04:46 minutes, 00:04:54 minutes… Two or three seconds before my notebook finally shut down I got 00:04:42 minutes left. For all this time percentage was at 2%. After plugging in the AC adaptor and booting up I got 4% and 00:04:53 minutes "until charged" (!). I disconnected the AC adaptor again – now I still had 4%, but just 00:00:15 seconds left. However, a few seconds later I got 00:29:31 minutes remaining again. If 'acpi' shows ACPI information (as the manpage states), ACPI information can't be correct. For me this seems to be a kernel bug.
