So the basic issues here are that we need to get accurate and consistent power measurements that we know are reliable. I suggest running powerstat from my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~colin-king/+archive/powermanagement

* Make sure the machine is not running any unnecessary power sucking applications (like webpages with flash) etc
* Run powerstat - it will take ~8 minutes so that we can get a long battery capacity change to get a more accurate measurement.

..and then we can start looking seeing if this is really as bad as powertop reports.
