I have a similar issue (on an MSI S271 laptop) with hardy (both amd64
and i386).


$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info 
present:                 yes
design capacity:         17 mAh
last full capacity:      12302 mAh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          22073 mV
design capacity warning: 0 mAh
design capacity low:     0 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  1 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  1 mAh
model number:            MS-1058
serial number:           
battery type:            LION
OEM info:                MSI Corp.


This is with the power cable plugged in and the battery fully charged:

$ acpi -ba
     Battery 1: charging, 0%, 05:20:00 until charged
  AC Adapter 1: on-line


$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state 
present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          charging
present rate:            2304 mA
remaining capacity:      14 mAh
present voltage:         13377 mV

With the mains unplugged :

$acpi -ba
     Battery 1: charging, 100%,  until charged
  AC Adapter 1: off-line

$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state 
present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          charging
present rate:            2555 mA
remaining capacity:      25358 mAh
present voltage:         1343 mV


In both cases, I sometimes get instead of the proper values:
$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state 
present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          charged
present rate:            unknown
remaining capacity:      unknown
present voltage:         10000 mV
