i'm not sure how to fix the problem! After the ubuntu backup is dead switch to windows and see whats the battery % is left! if its not very low! then Might be the calibration issue! try turning off your power management! it will run in 0% battery for 1 hrs! -- FOSS Nepal mailing list:

try $acpi -i it shows you the percent batt. remaining and the time remaining , as well as the last full capacity of your battery and search and look for the application named jupiter , It can help you to balance between your machine's performance and the battery life. On 10/24/12, rhoit

Also you can install and use the powertop utility. It shows you which application is eating how much of power and provides easy tweaks to enhance your battery backup. _ Regards, Abhishek Singh FOSS Nepal Community http://wiki.fossnepal.org
