This bug seems to be related to other simalar issues such as Bug #393008 
I notice that the power manager applet doesnt recognise the AC has been 
unplugged. After running like that for an hour or so shut the machine down. 
Restarted later in the day and the indicator now correctly reported battery 
power and correct battery level however this soon changed to telling me the 
battery was almost empty (7% or so) but still with more than 30 min run time 
remaining.

On closer inspection running  $ devkit-power --monitor-detail 
The battery was incorrectly reported as

energy-full:         88.7883 Wh   (or there abouts)
energy-full-design:  26.64 Wh

I didn't get chance to copy this as my machine shut down seconds after I
noticed this. The machine is now on charge and looking at this again I
notice the charge rate is extremely high which cannot be correct

  History (charge):
    1258072896  50.999  charging
    1258072865  50.609  charging
    1258072834  50.268  charging
    1258072803  49.683  charging
  History (rate):
    1258072896  715.928 charging
    1258072865  715.950 charging
    1258072834  715.850 charging
    1258072803  716.771 charging

The charge graphs are also all over the place. see screen shot at

Bugs in Devicekit-power seem not to be handled by launchpad but I don't
see any way to record the bug upstream either. Documentation also seems
to be incomplete
