    I don't think the calibration is off. The amount of time that it says remaining typically matches specs and reality and when the battery gets low the warning bubble pops up. I don't think it is a calibration issue. Tell me if you think I am wrong based on what I just said.

    I suspect you are right... I don't know the battery's history. Could try setting the critical level at 90% and see if it behaves differently... for lack of a better idea.

    I had the same problem. However, my "Reserve battery level" was the lowest one. When I set it to be between "Low" and "Critical", my Dell E6510 started going to sleep without problems.
