Hi TJ, You don't mention the model of your MBP or the version of OSX your running, but I'd suggest you might want to try resetting the system management controller as suggested in the following Apple KB article. The article is aimed at Leopard Users but I think the same battery status messages still apply to SL and Lion. The article includes a link to instructions for resetting the SMC, which is a common troubleshooting step for various Mac misbehaviors. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3782?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
