The indicator applet itself isn't in charge of the battery levels that's handled by gnome-power-manager. You can file a bug on that here: http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+filebug

I am affected by the same bug and can confirm it on HP Pavilion dv5-1050en laptop with Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.

Anyway, I have doubts if this is really a Gnome Power Manager issue. First of all, this bug was not present in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit. Secondly, it seems that Gnome Power Manager gets the battery charge levels correctly both in Notify OSD messages and in Power Statistics window.

I've attached screenshots of battery indicator applet giving the forever lasting "estimating" message and Notify OSD and Power Statistics reporting battery's charge correctly.

I've attached a screenshot of the details tab of the battery. As you can see the charge and discharge time for the battery is 0 seconds on both. The history tab it's like the screenshot of Darius

Sorry about the spanish language of the screenshot.
