battery says no charge when charge remains

I dont know if this has been covered, but no matter what distro I use they all say that there is zero charge in the battery. But if I leave the One sitting at the grub screen it will stay powered until I get bored, and will also hold a distro in suspend overnight without bother. So I believe that the problem is the way the battery tells the netbook how much charge it has (dont know much about this stuff).

Has anyone had a similar problem, and if so can I fix it ??
