Title:
  Constantly, but randomly, power-manager warns me that my battery is
  critically low and will be hibernating unless power is plugged in.
  During this I know the battery is 100% because when I click `OK` the
  battery applet then shows the correct information

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

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

  Seems to be more frequent when I am plugging in or unplugging the A/C
  adapter. The battery applet displays a dead battery icon, then power-
  manager window message notifies me that  battery is critically low!
  without plugging in power computer will hibernate. However this is a
  false message, the hardware light is blue ( signaling a fully charged
  battery, and as soon as the message is closed, the battery applet
  returns to the correct status). I have done my own research on google
  to no availability. Most of the "fixes" were to make a script that
  would run cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state and that would give power-
  manager the correct info, however that is not the case. I wrote the
  script and added it is a cron job / startup program, still occurs.
