    Case 1: Run on AC Power. Plug off the AC. The battery status works fine.
    Case 2: Run on AC Power. Shut down the system. Plug off the AC. Power on the system. The battery level status is always at 100%.
    Case 3: System is off. Plug off the AC. Take off the battery. Do power drain (press the power button). Put the battery in. Power on the system. The battery status works fine. (Same as Case 2 but having a power drain).

    Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
