FC11- getting message about 'battery broken'

[Robert Moskowitz]

I am running gnome and when I log in I get:

Battery may be broken

Your battery has a very low capacity (2%) , which means that it may be 
old or broken.


Now I did not get anything like this with FC10 on the system and it 
would run a number hours on battery.

How do I check this out?

Oh, the system is an ASUS ee701 with a 4Gb SDD drive and a 8Gb SD card.
