It looks not so normal to me. But looking at Debian wiki for EEE systems it seems to be a known issue with power management: *** http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Configure#Powermanagement Power management On some models, the battery info is not very precise (jumps from 10% to 100%, no rate information, etc.). Apparently, this is normal. It appears that the userspace battery utilities expect the battery to report mAh, but in fact it reports percentage. This is either a bug in the battery firmware or a bug in the BIOS; it is known to be fixed with newer BIOS versions and kernels ≥ 2.6.25. *** THT.
