Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Using a thinkpad W510 whenever I go to battery the gnome-power-manager icon turns red. I finally got to the bottom of why, which is an incorrect parsing of the battery levels. If I bring up the Power Statistics panel I see what is attached (notice the energy when full is 10x what it should be). If looked in /sys and the energy levels for the battery there look correct, so this is probably something in the parsing and computing of those values.
