maybe install battery-status and give it a run under such conditions to see if it gives a similar percentage. iirc, it reads its info off dbus...

This time when I got the low battery warning, I switched to Nokia battery applet and also checked battery level reported by battery-status. They all agreed battery was at 0%. Of course, after sitting overnight battery level jumped back to 53%.

bhw, I have tried disabling metacrawler and swap. I have also tried keeping NIT in offline mode unless I was actively using wifi. None of it made any difference to reported battery life.

At this point it is pretty clear to me dbus data on battery level is bogus.If there isn't a bug open about this already, I will open one.
