Comment 12 for bug 418428

Update: with the pc switched off (not hibernated) I swapped my charger with an identical one from another laptop. Somehow that got the charging started again. I booted and the battery reported to be charging.

Then I used the laptop until a charge of about 10%. When i put the charger back in, immedeately I got a message saying the battery was critically low (below 8%) and the system was going into hibernate.
Hibernate is still broken so crash boom bang went the pc.
I unplugged and replugged my charger and the light on the battery came on, so it seemed to charge.

Booted, and yes it was charging. The estimated time to full charge was way off (several hours), and estimated time running on a full battery even further (something like 6-7 hours... that would be nice, if it were true ;-) )

It seems to me that the data collected concerning charge and decharge times get corrupted somehow. Somtimes after a cold boot there seems to be no power history at all.

cheers
