Hello David Yes it seems like devkit-power reporting bad data is what's at fault. I didn't check the AC when unplugged because when I managed to rebuild the machine with the parts that eventually arrived I built it with 9.04 because 9.10 was unusable. I ran the above with live 9.10 so with no updates etc and just booted into 9.10 to run apport-collect and went back to my 9.04 install.
Also it might be worth while mentioning that I ran a live version of one of the 10.04 alpha releases and let the battery drain and I didn't see any errors but that was just a quick check and not a full test run of 10.04. I figured it could be down to the fact that HAL is in the process of being replaced with devkit-power but the process hasn't fully completed and it could just be an odd ball issue with my hardware and the implementation of hal / devkit-power. I think I had the same problem on my other laptop too, A lenovo 3000 N100. sadly while I was investigating this the battery died it's death and now refuses to charge at all but I've given up with that one as I don't tend to use it much except for distro hopping and such. If you want me to run apport-collect in any of the various states (both power and install such as with updates or without) let me know. It might take a bit if messing about installing to an external USB drive to get it going without ditching my working setup but I'll have time to play around with it more now.
