I am running RH9 on the same laptop and have the same problem. I am in the process of trying acpi to see if it will be more successful at getting the battery right. Jeremy Baker Brad Fonseca wrote:

I'm running Mandrake 9.2 on a Compaq Armada E500 laptop. When I first installed the system, KLaptop would helpfully warn me when the batteries was low. Recently, I've run into the problem where the Klaptop monitor says I still have 40% on the battery but then the laptop suddenly powers off as if the battery is dead.

Is there a way to fix this? The battery seems to last the same length of time as before, it's just that KLaptop seems to have an inaccurate measure of remaining battery life.
