power/battery applet shows bad/odd information

[Mail Llists]

  I just put in a new battery and charged it. The acpi info (which is
correctly displayed by the power applet compared with /proc/acpi/battery is:

Acpi Data
        Design Capacity - 84.2
        Current Charge - 88.0
        Last Full Charge - 88.5

 Now this looks pretty good to me - I have charged it to just over the
design capacity and it is at present fully charged:

 The power applet however has other (odd) ideas and interprets this data
as follows:

Applet Interpretation
        Percent Charged - 99.5
        Capacity        - 0.3% (poor)


 Huh?
