Thank you for your bug report. However, it's not complete yet. We need a little more information. Could you please give us the output of the following commands in attachments?
hal-find-by-capability --capability "battery"
gconftool --recursive-list /apps/gnome-power-manager
gnome-power-bugreport.sh
uname -a

There are other reports of people having a wrong percentage or remaining time for their battery. Is the power history the only thing that doesn't work?
And what version of gnome-power-manager are you using?

I am attach a output of the commands you requested.

The voltage history looks ok (match now is not flat)

With the power history off I can tell if the charge history is correct but it
is not flat and down but is at 79% which is not real.

The system is hardy and was updated at 1:30pm today.

Power manager verison:
mike@mike-laptop:/tmp/bug 357> gnome-power-manager --version
Version 2.21.92
