Hey guys. My OSX install is consistently unable to judge the state of my battery percentage. It gives me incorrect numbers (40% when it's really close to 0.. 5% when its almost fully charged). It wouldn't be that big a worry except..

 

It shuts off without any warning. In the middle of working, of the HDD spinning, of anything - it'll just go kaput. I didn't care too much before I realized that it's slowly causing bad sectors in my hard drive. I'm purchasing a new one soon, and I'd rather not screw up that one as well.

 

I'm not even sure how to begin fixing this problem though. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

Edit:// By the way, acceptable solutions would be to get it to standby before it powers off, or just be able to give me an accurate read on the battery so I can plug in or manually go into standby.
