Yesterday I was out with my laptop (a thinkpad T60) and noticed a problem with
the battery behavior that I have not noticed before (Ubuntu 16.04).

I had the computer turned on for a while and I noticed the battery icon had
turned red so I plugged the computer into the mains to charge it up.  The
battery icon changed to white with a small symbol in it that I think was 0% (it
was too small for me read).  The computer was still running an hour later but
the battery icon had not changed and the battery was 100% charged.  So it
appears there is a problem with the battery icon display but not the
functionality.
