Since I upgraded from Gutsy the power manager has been giving totally wrong values. When its on battery power the level remains on 31% for the entire time and says I have over 32 hours of battery life. When the battery is just about to die, it drops to 1% and hibernates immediately with no warning. When I plug it in then after restarting from hibernation it says 1% fully charged. I know I can disable the hibernation on low battery, but then I would lose what I was working on.
The power manager worked fine under Gutsy.
Below is the hal device data
