Robert, I have an eee 900 and since I installed F11 I've also been
getting this broken battery message. I never had the errors on F10 either.

The battery status information is also erratic, especially the
discharging percentage, it's very buoyant.

The battery seems to last a couple of hours, so it's definitely not dead.
