Title:
  Battery indicator shows an almost empty battery when charging though
  the battery is almost full

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Right now, if I disconnect the charger from the laptop, the battery
  indicator shows an almost-empty battery with an electricity symbol -
  whose meaning can only be that the battery is almost empty and is
  being charged.

  If I disconnect the charger, then the icon shows a completely full
  battery (without the electricity symbol). Which can only mean that the
  battery is practically full.

  So the information displayed is contraddictory. The former is wrong,
  and the latter is right. The battery is actually almost full.

  If I click on the icon when charging (connected), it says "0:13 to charge".
  If I click on it when disconnected, it says "3:45 left". These are consistent with each other, and with the fact that the battery actually _is_ almost full.

  The battery is almost new and it takes pretty long to discharge, so it
  can't be almost full and almost empty at the same time, nor is the
  measured value unreliable. The fact that the textual information is
  correct confirms this. It's a bug in the way the information is
  displayed graphically.

  Actually, while I was writing, the charging completed, the battery is
  now full. If I click on the icon, it says "Battery (100%)". However,
  the icon still shows the almost empty battery.
