As a mentioned before: changing the action for "lid closed" to "do
nothing" or "blank screen" is an other solution.

With this change if unplugging the ac cable the laptop just does nothing
or blanks the screen.

This worked for me. Is anybody else helped with this info? Maybe there
is a solution to find in this workaround.

The initial workaround did not work for me.

Onderwerp: [Bug 531190] Re: upower (devkit-power) reporting bad data when AC cable is unplugged

Brand new Dell Vostro 3700 running Maverick, fully charged battery, seeing the same behavior - it wants to hibernate as soon as I unplug.
Using the workaround, when I unplug it still says "5 minutes of power left" (but at least does not hibernate), then within a few seconds it updates to tell me I have 2 hours 45 minutes of power.  This looks really sloppy and confusing.

Title:
  upower (devkit-power) reporting bad data when AC cable is unplugged

Status in DeviceKit based power management D-Bus backend:
  Confirmed
Status in “upower” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “upower” package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upower

upower reports enormous energy-rate for first time after cord is unplugged.
GPM reacts on this first event not checking subsequent events.

This bug is started because I found no ways to collect data for 473552.
I have no devkit-power package.

=== EFFECTS ===

This is the underlying cause to gnome-power-manager immediately
reporting critical battery after unplug even while charge is good. It is
not a gnome-power-manager problem, the root is here in upower. Please do
not report bugs against gnome-power-manager for this!

To workaround the effects execute:

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-power-
manager/general/use_time_for_policy false
