Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
ACPI reports that one of my batteries has a current charge of 561Wh, and
a last full charge of 566.7Wh. It also reports that the same battery has
a design charge of 57.7 Wh.
The "current charge" and "last full charge" readings are clearly bogus.
They cause time-remaining estimations to be wildly optimistic.
Interestingly, if you divide the "current charge" and "last full charge"
by ten, you get a much more likely number for both fields.
These wonky readings actually started when I was still running Feisty
about two or three weeks ago (that is, before the new profiling code was
enabled). I suspect a kernel update may have introduced an ACPI bug that
is shifing the decimal place on those fields for certain batteries, but
I'm posting this here so that we can confirm this is not a g-p-m issue.
** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

g-p-m or ACPI multiplies current and last-full charge fields by 10 for certain
batteries
