[Susanne Schlensog <838543@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug occurred to me today for the first time. Just 2 days ago my
Samsung N150 netbook was just running fine with an up-to-date Precise.
Today, I pulled the plug and - BAM - netbook just turnd off. The battery
was fine. I could run the netbook for 2 to 4 hours without a problem,
and now the battery appears to be dead (in 12.04 too, which I booted in
some minutes ago).

So...is there anything I can do to bring my battery back to life?

Title:
  False battery warning +suspend

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I pulled the plug on my laptop with it's battery full:

  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
  present:                 yes
  capacity state:          ok
  charging state:          charged
  present rate:            0 mA
  remaining capacity:      7200 mAh
  present voltage:         11100 mV
  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ubuntu-bug -w
  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
  present:                 yes
  design capacity:         7200 mAh
  [...]

  And suddenly got a dialog saying that it was critically low (while the
  icon top-left appears, properly, as full) and the laptop did suspend
  shortly after that.
