I have noticed the same problem as mentioned above (Joe's original post). When I boot up, my battery shows itself nearly full, or around 85% or whatever... then, very suddenly, it either gives me an almost-dead warning, or just plain shuts down. It doesn't appear that power is being consumed faster than before, but as if some specific action of Jaunty is suddenly sapping the power.

Since this is a fairly fresh Jaunty install, pretty sure I don't have any older kernels to roll back to, but here's the contents of my info file:

present: yes
design capacity: 4000 mAh
last full capacity: 4000 mAh
battery technology: rechargeable
design voltage: 14800 mV
design capacity warning: 420 mAh
design capacity low: 156 mAh
capacity granularity 1: 264 mAh
capacity granularity 2: 3780 mAh
model number: PA3383U
serial number: 3658Q
battery type: Li-Ion
OEM info: TOSHIBA

This is too odd to be a coincidence; I just upgraded to Jaunty last week, and I frequently used the laptop unplugged, so I know it's not a fluke.
