Hey, IA friend had a problem like that. In that case, it turned out to be the firmware in the voltage sensing device. A firmware upgrade fixed it. But if your battery is old, then it may be the battery, as you say...

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, March 16, 2010, 6:09 AM I have this same problem, but I know it's my battery that is to blame, since it reported wrong battery status even with Windows. The problem is that Ubuntu nicely presumes the battery is working like it should, and keeps shutting down even when the battery is full. It gets quiet annoying after a while. Why there is no option to do nothing? This remind me of all the horrible Windows memories, how the operating system presumes I'm too stupid and get confused if I have too many options. -- Ubuntu misinterprets available battery charge on laptop and shuts down in 2 minutes even with 98% charge remaining! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490632 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Ubuntu misinterprets available battery charge on laptop and shuts down in 2 minutes even with 98% charge remaining! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
