Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read 'How to report bugs effectively' http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).

Thanks!

Could you maybe do a screencast or video showing the issue?

[Rajesh Chaudhary (rajeshisnepali)]

I think the issue persisted a week ago. I tried to research the solution but couldn't find much.

Before that, my laptop battery was working fine. Even the battery has lasted for 4-5 hours. But now, it's not behaving as expected. After a full charge, it takes less than an hour to drop the battery percentage (nearly 45%) and then suddenly to 5% giving notification that "The laptop will be hibernated".

I don't know whether it's the problem of my battery or a charging adapter. I've also attached the screencast showing my power statistics.

The videos show blinking of the indicator as well as a change of percentage(%) in App Indicators.
When the blinking stops, it means that the charge is 100% full and vice-versa.

Hoping to get a quick response from you back soon.
Thanks.

It's still unclear from the video what the issue? Is that the drop from 100% to 98%?

[Rajesh Chaudhary (rajeshisnepali)]

Sorry to hear that it was still unclear for you. Though, I've updated the title of the bug.

The bug is quite clear. I'm having a problem while charging my laptop. No constant charge; while it is still 75%, suddenly it goes to 100% and back and forth.
