    hi! i have a fujitsu-siemens amilo pro v2000...im regularly using this laptop with the power cord on. the problem is that the power status (battery remaining stuff) is always on the 97% remaining status. i'm using win xp pro sp2. is this a bug or what? and how can this be achieved to be in 100% status? thnx for any reply...

    Sounds like your battery fuel gauge is mis-calibrated. For lithium-ion batteries you need to apply a deliberate full discharge every 30 charges or so to make sure your fuel gauge is properly calibrated. This thread goes into more detail about it.

    The thread has a link to this article which is pretty through on the entire topic.
