Public bug reported: My battery status indicator is reporting incorrect times for both charge and discharge. The time will fluxuate greatly across values much to large to be believed (5 hours to charge, 6 hours to discharge). The battery will also not indicate a correct charge percentage. Upon reboot, the information appears correct for a few minutes, then starts drifting to incorrect values. Attached are the hal-device outputs from similar bug report already on Launchpad.
