Hmm, well, like Sverre pointed out, I guess my laptop has a Smart
Battery. Nothing much to do then, except wait till Smart Battery
support is implemented I suppose ... :) (and always work with my power
plugged in hehehe! Real nasty when you are working on batteries and
the laptop just shuts coz battery is drained and you weren't aware of
it)

Thanks,
Rakhesh
