The change to DeviceKit means the power applets read the battery info
incorrectly in some cases. My battery used to show negative capacity
for a while before a bug was fixed.

While recent power savings in F11 do seem to make up some gains, 2
hours to 14 hours on a 4 cell battery is simply unbelievable.

The only way to confirm is to ofcourse let your laptop run till it
powers off without battery. Do save your work *before* 2 hours and
file a bug if the laptop switches off anytime sooner than 14 hours ;-)

PS: If it really goes on to run for 14 hours, I would be very
interested in knowing the laptop model.
