Bug Description

Ubuntu Edgy (6.10) after upgrade from Dapper. However, Dapper had the same issue.

On my HP NX7000 I get incorrect battery life reports from gnome-power-manager. Even if the battery is fully charged, when I unplug the AC adapter it reports that I only have 4 minutes of battery life (but it reports 100% charged). It then proceeds to count UP until eventually it reaches 2 hours. The main issue I'm facing is that sometimes it reports that there is only 2 minutes left which causes my system to go into suspend mode.

This problem only occurs if Ubuntu is already booted and I unplug. If I boot the laptop up with no AC plugged in, it reports correct times.
