Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

I have a lenovo thinkpad T410. The battery icon is displaying an incorrect power level and claims that my computer is about to die. I have checked with both lshal and the actual battery and it is not critically low.

This appears to be a bug which was in lucid and was not fixed. # 501500 However it also reports the wrong battery level at any time.

It appears that the energy-full is roughly 10x the energy-design.
