Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-4-generic
Lenovo 3000 N100 only has one battery, and the only battery has always
been detected properly, but the latest Hardy reports 2 batteries. The
second battery (BAT1) always shows the percentage of charge of the only
laptop battery at the moment the power cord was last plugged/unplugged.
Thus, if I charge the battery up till 100% and then unplug the power,
BAT0 shows the actual battery status, while BAT1 constantly shows 100%.
When the power cord is plugged back in, BAT0 starts charging and BAT1
jumps down to where the battery was on the moment of bringing the power
cord in and stays there.
This behaviour leads to wrong estimation of battery life in gnome-power-
manager and to wrong behaviour: for example, if 2% charge is actually
left, and BAT1 still shows 100%, gnome-power-manager thinks 12% of
summary charge is available, and doesn't put system to suspend-to-disk
mode as it is supposed to when there's less than 5% charge remaining.
