Additionally, this cause my laptop to re-hibernate after allowing the battery to charge to 48% and then unplugging it again.

1. Allow laptop battery to drain.
2. Message appears
3. Allow laptop to hibernate automatically
4. Plug in and turn on
5. Allow battery to charge to 50% or so
6. Unplug AC
7. Warning notifcation pops up again, and system hibernates

This is pretty unfriendly behavior since there is plenty of battery left and yet it hibernates anyway.

Are you sure this isn't another dupe of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697315 ?

Comment 3 John J. Egan 2011-06-02 22:34:25 UTC
I get this message IMMEDIATELY/instantaneously after the AC power source is removed from my Vaio VGN-NR110E. It happened all through Fedora 14 and now 15. I want to think the same for Fedora 13. That said, I still get use of the laptop for my expected battery duration.

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Remove power plug.

Comment 4 Charles R. Anderson 2011-09-04 18:17:32 UTC
I still see this behavior:

1. I usually keep laptop plugged in always, so it is charged to 100%.
2. Unplug AC.
3. Immediately receive a notification saying "Laptop battery critically low"
4. Check battery icon.  It says "5 hours 20 minutes remaining 92%" or similar.

This is on fully updated Fedora 15:

gnome-power-manager-3.0.2-2.fc15.i686
gnome-shell-3.0.2-4.fc15.i686
kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686

Comment 5 Charles R. Anderson 2011-09-04 18:19:05 UTC
BTW, there is no NVIDIA here.  Only Intel graphics on a Toshiba 10.1" netbook, NB255-N250.

Comment 6 oneto018 2011-10-13 04:20:01 UTC
Yeah! My laptop also having the same problem. Some time it would say "Battery critically low 95% remaining".

Comment 7 Richard Hughes 2011-11-15 13:37:20 UTC
Does this still happen in F16? Thanks.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:10:42 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
