    Whenever my R100 reaches around 50-40% power the system suddenly reports that I have 1-2% remaining. This is completely untrue as I can continue to run the laptop for another 15-20mins with max brightness, wifi and the proc at max. I've tried using NHC's battery algorithem but with the same results. I've also tried to completely drain the battery and let it fully charge before using it again and there was no change. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    BTW: the rated battery life is around 2hrs with everything set to min and a new battery so 15-20mins is almost a 25% discrepincy
