Whenever I go on battery after 20-30 minutes upower will very abruptly think my battery is at 1% and force my laptop to hibernate. This seems to happen at random times, I've seen it when my battery was reported to be 90%, 76%, 45%, 25%, etc. If I try to resume Ubuntu locks up forcing me to hard reset the machine. I suspect this is because upower thinks my battery is still at 1% when its not. My laptops firmware correctly reports the battery level and shows that I have plenty of power remaining. The last few times this happened I kept powertop up which shows that I do have plenty of power even when upower thinks I have none. Essentially this makes my laptop unusable on battery.

I've been monitoring upower and I think the problem is it is incorrectly detecting the number of batteries in my laptop. I only have one yet upower detects 5 power sources. One of them is a DisplayDevice which normally shows the same amount of battery as my system battery. Sometimes that drops to 1% or 0%. I've had my laptop plugged in all day here are two upower -d dumps from within the last 5 minutes. Notice in the first dump /org/freedeskto
