The burden does not lie on you to know in detail what to report, just to respond to our (hopefully easy to follow) requests for extra info. You could start the ball rolling by putting the raw info from /proc/acpi/battery and the output of lshal -l in the bug report. If do we need any extra info we'll ask in the BR. Remember there may be others with the same problem who aren't willing to switch to g-p-m so it's worth reporting the bug.
