Public bug reported:
Ever since the most recent HAL update, GNOME Power Manager and lshal
have been giving me ridiculous values for battery life. It directly
contradicts what acpi -V tells me. For example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ acpi -V
Battery 1: discharging, 96%, 02:33:40 remaining
Thermal 1: ok, 54.0 degrees C
AC Adapter 1: off-line
-----------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lshal | grep battery
battery.remaining_time = 14400 (0x3840) (int)
battery.charge_level.percentage = 100 (0x64) (int)
battery.charge_level.rate = 1 (0x1) (int)
battery.charge_level.last_full = 4 (0x4) (int)
battery.charge_level.current = 4 (0x4) (int)
battery.voltage.current = 1 (0x1) (int)
battery.reporting.rate = 1637 (0x665) (int)
battery.reporting.current = 4231 (0x1087) (int)
battery.charge_level.capacity_state = 'ok' (string)
battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = true (bool)
battery.rechargeable.is_charging = false (bool)
battery.is_rechargeable = true (bool)
battery.charge_level.unit = 'mWh' (string)
battery.charge_level.granularity_2 = 473 (0x1d9) (int)
battery.charge_level.granularity_1 = 473 (0x1d9) (int)
battery.charge_level.low = 2590 (0xa1e) (int)
battery.charge_level.warning = 4440 (0x1158) (int)

battery.voltage.design = 14800 (0x39d0) (int)

battery.reporting.granularity_2 = 32 (0x20) (int)
battery.reporting.granularity_1 = 32 (0x20) (int)
battery.reporting.low = 175 (0xaf) (int)
battery.reporting.warning = 300 (0x12c) (int)
battery.reporting.design = 4800 (0x12c0) (int)
battery.reporting.last_full = 4382 (0x111e) (int)
battery.reporting.unit = 'mAh' (string)
battery.technology = 'LION' (string)

info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list)
info.category = 'battery' (string)
battery.type = 'primary' (string)
linux.acpi_path = '/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1' (string)
It continues to report either 100% or 75% until my battery goes dead.
