Same behavior here, Thinkpad T500, clean Fedora 13 install, worked on Fedora 12
Can you try this build please: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2224559 Thanks.

Installed the x86_64 package. Same problem on my fujitsu esprimo mobile d9500. Battery icon always full when not in charge. System will not shutdown when power is low but it close when battery is down.

Fixed in 2.30.1-2
Not for me! Let me know if you need other info.
@marco - not sure, but i think that you may have a different problem - but i will leave it to richard to comment.
Bug #596617 is probably a duplicate of this bug.
Could the 2.30.1-2 be pushed to f13 ?
From bug #596617, comment 5: "It is necessary to install the gnome-power-manager-extra package to get information about the laptop battery."
Well, the packager prepared a update ( 78999f6d317a175562fcb46de48bef6e78bb5713 ), but afaik, it was not pushed to stable ( ie f13 ). So the flag "fixed in current release" is wrong, no ?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
