I see this too with version 2.24.0-0ubuntu8 of G.P.M, on a Packard Bell
EasyNote A8202 laptop. In fact, it's been like this ever since I moved
from Feisty to Hardy!
Example: tooltip shows "85.9%". The context menu says "51.0%"
"lshal |grep -i battery" shows this:
-----
battery.charge_level.current = 25070 (0x61ee) (int)
battery.charge_level.design = 48840 (0xbec8) (int)
battery.charge_level.last_full = 29190 (0x7206) (int)
battery.charge_level.percentage = 51 (0x33) (int)
battery.charge_level.rate = 506 (0x1fa) (int)
battery.is_rechargeable = true (bool)
battery.model = '01ED' (string)
battery.present = true (bool)
battery.rechargeable.is_charging = false (bool)
battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = true (bool)
battery.remaining_time = 178363 (0x2b8bb) (int)
battery.reporting.current = 25070 (0x61ee) (int)
battery.reporting.design = 48840 (0xbec8) (int)
battery.reporting.last_full = 29190 (0x7206) (int)
battery.reporting.rate = 506 (0x1fa) (int)
battery.reporting.technology = 'Li-ion' (string)
battery.reporting.unit = 'mWh' (string)
battery.technology = 'lithium-ion' (string)
battery.type = 'primary' (string)
battery.vendor = 'SIMPLO' (string)
battery.voltage.current = 11947 (0x2eab) (int)
battery.voltage.design = 11100 (0x2b5c) (int)
battery.voltage.unit = 'mV' (string)
info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list)
info.category = 'battery' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0'
(string)
-----
and 'cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state' gives this:
-----
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: discharging
present rate: 15961 mW
remaining capacity: 24990 mWh
present voltage: 11892 mV
-----
It looks like 51% is the correct figure.
