[Bug 860427] Re: Oneiric displays 'Laptop battery critically low' message after AC is unplugged when 'charged' shown on battery indicator

 

Hi,

Here is a work around that worked for me. 
When the pop up comes do not click on the Cancel or OK button. Just use the close button on the window title bar (the cross button in red) to close the pop up. Doing this will not put the laptop in hibernate or suspend mode and you can continue work.
This worked for me very well. Please give it a try and share your findings, then we can suggest this as work around, till the issue is fixed permanently.

Thanks
Bishnu
