    My X200T had no issues until recently when all of a sudden the battery would go from having a lot of juice left to a very low percentage and then back up again, even when I have AC connected. The first time this happened it forced windows to do a hibernation. I disable hibernation and observed several more occasions when the windows 7 battery meter would go from fully charged to 0% - 7% randomly, then recovers several seconds later. The funny thing is the Lenovo power gauge still displayed the correct percentage all the time. Is my battery/motherboard dying or is this some other software issue?

    most likely a battery problem.

    Try the battery reset in the Thinkvantage Power Manager, this will correctly calibrate the battery charge level.
