Same here on an Asus eeepc 701.
At startup, it warns about a battery defect due to capacity at 1.9% 
Strangely, when I right click the gnome-power-manager icon in the bar, and 
select History, the details tab of battery shows:
Percentage: 50%   (this is correct)
Capacity: 1.9%       (What does that mean ??)

Here are some dumps of /proc/acpi/battery:
