Does this post show some hint for this bug: http://forum.eeeuser.com/index.php?/topic/81732-battery-measurements- are-wrong-eeepc-900-ubuntu-1004/page__view__findpost__p__710079 ?
Quote: This is a problem with the way the battery reports its charging state. The ubuntu applet (and the rest of the system, down to the kernel) expects the charge to be reported in mAh but instead the battery itself reports a percentage. If you look at state and info in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/, you'll find that a fully charged battery reports a charge of 100 mAh ... with a (reported) design capacity of 5200 mAh this works out to 1.9 %. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120258 Title: Laptop Battery Time Remaining Outrageously Inaccurate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-power/+bug/120258/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
