Title:
  Power Indicator says battery is empty when it's full

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  the power indicator in Natty on my Thinkpad x201 says the battery is
  empty, even though it's full.

  Basically, when I plug the Thinkpad in, the indicator correctly
  displays the battery/lightning bolt indicating that the battery is
  charging.  When I unplug the power brick, the battery indicator shows
  the red battery outline indicating an empty battery.  The indicator
  messages say Remaining Time Unknown, but if I click on the icon it
  says I have over 3 hours of battery life left.

  This did not happen after I initially upgraded to Natty from Maverick,
  but seems to have happened after a previous Natty update.
