Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
When I have the laptop plugged to the AC power, the battery indicator shows me the real value of percentage of my battery level.
Nonetheless, when I unplug the AC power and use the battery of the laptop, the battery indicator tells me that the "laptop battery is charged" even though it is not fully charged. It happens always, till the laptop shuts down because there is no battery left.
In other words, the battery indicator works fine with AC power but it does not when working with the battery of the laptop.
I am using ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3 (64 bits) with an HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop. This very same problem happened to me already with the ubuntu 10.04 release (and report the problem in the bug 577557) but a solution was not found. I hope this time I arrive in time to be able to solve the problem.

Affects me! In windows 7 the battery works fine even when I keep it unplugged from the charger, but in Natty if I keep it unplugged for more than 15 seconds it shuts down... Windows reports 100%, Ubuntu reports 0% the second it's off the charger despite saying "battery is charged."
