Bug Description
As per title xfce power manager (version 1.4.4-4ubuntu2) on my Lubuntu 16.04.3 shows a wrong battery life. What happens is that I plug in the laptop, it tells me the battery is 100% I unplug the write and I can see after maybe 10 minutes that the battery level lowered.
I check and it gives me something like 80% and then, suddenly the laptop turns of because the battery is discharged.
When i plug it back it shows as the battery is either charging correctly or charging and the percentage is over 70%.
The battery is a few months old, so I think the problem lies in xfce power manager which displays the wrong information.Bug #1216594 opened in 2013 is very similar to my case, however that bug report was closed not because it was fixed but because it expired after 60 days.
I tried 'upower -d' and it gives me the same info as the power manager.
The output was:
