Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
When I unplug my laptop, no matter how well my battery is charged (99%, 50%, 30%), I get a message saying "Laptop Battery Critically Low," and telling me the system is about to hibernate. Curiously, there is also a notification telling me the charge state (97%) next to an incorrect estimate of remaining battery power (2 minutes remaining). The system then hibernates.
I should add that my battery is perfectly healthy, and in Karmic and other OSs usually lasts about 4.5 hours.

I have exactly the same issue on my MSI Wind U-100.
Even in 9.10 I had that incorrect notification of 2 minutes remaining, just in that version the auto hibernate option was disabled i guess.
for a temporary solution i set the behaviour for critical battery to suspend, so the computer can be waked up faster. Why there is no option to do nothing in the Power Manager options?
Also if it help, i'm happy to atach log files of my battery chargings if some tells me how can i get them.
