I have similar problem on xubuntu 16.04. The only problem is that it
occurs with only one of my two batteries. This leads me to consider that
the problem may be stemming from an interaction with the battery
metadata. The odd thing about the battery (the one that instigates the
faulty behavior) is that it reports an unusually high energy-full value
(>65Wh) whereas the design capacity is actually much smaller (~5Wh). I
speculate that this could cause confusion into the actual state of
charge and may prematurely shut the laptop down....

Title:
xfce power manager shows wrong battery life information (Lbuntu
16.04.3)
Status in upower package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
As per title xfce power manager (version 1.4.4-4ubuntu2) on my Lubuntu
16.04.3 shows a wrong battery life. What happens is that I plug in the
laptop, it tells me the battery is 100% I unplug the write and I can
see after maybe 10 minutes that the battery level lowered.
I check and it gives me something like 80% and then, suddenly the
laptop turns of because the battery is discharged.
When i plug it back it shows as the battery is either charging
correctly or charging and the percentage is over 70%.
The battery is a few months old, so I think the problem lies in xfce
power manager which displays the wrong information.Bug #1216594 opened
in 2013 is very similar to my case, however that bug report was closed
not because it was fixed but because it expired after 60 days.
I tried 'upower -d' and it gives me the same info as the power manager.
