Title:
  gnome-power-statistics shows bogus "Energy when full" value

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

Bug description:
  gnome-power-statistics sometimes gets the wrong value for Energy when
  full, causing the battery indicator to show nearly empty when it's
  nowhere near empty.

  For example:

  slice 14:29:01 ~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full
  67410000
  slice 14:31:52 ~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full_design 
  67000000
  slice 14:31:57 ~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_now
  28310000

  Meanwhile, gnome-power-statistics is correctly showing Energy (design)
  as 67.0Wh, but Energy when full as 633.7Wh, roughly a factor of 10 too
  high. Interestingly, although it then calculates that the battery has
  about 6.1% left, it still shows the time remaining correctly (about 2
  hours).
