Ubuntu 10.10 64bit.
Hardware: i3-350m, ati radeon hd 5470
Ubuntu battery indicator cannot estimate time to charge the battery when charging. Disconnecting the battery causes it to say the battery is charged despite it is not. Turning the computer on without the adapter plugged in results in the message that it is estimating time remaining.
When turning the computer on with the adapter plugged in:
cat /proc/acpi/
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charging
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 1790 mAh
present voltage: unknown
cat /proc/acpi/
state: on-line
After disconnecting the adapter:
cat /proc/acpi/
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charged
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 1875 mAh
present voltage: unknown
cat /proc/acpi/
state: off-line
When turning the computer on without the adapter plugged in:
cat /proc/acpi/
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: discharging
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 1704 mAh
present voltage: unknown
cat /proc/acpi/
state: off-line
After plugging the adapter in:
cat /proc/acpi/
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: discharging
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 1576 mAh

It seams that acpi doesn't return the present rate of charge/discharge so the system can't estimate remaining time to charge/discharge, and the adapter doesn't change its status until reboot when connected after discharging unless the computer was booted while it was already plugged in.
