Mini & Battery
When I unplug my mini "sometimes" (can't pinpoint when or how often really) it'll IMMEDIATELY tell me I'm low on battery (despite really being at 100% or close to it). The computer then goes into hibernate and it takes a few minutes to come back and the battery shows fine. In power management it doesn't have a "On Battery Power" tab. Any suggestions??

Sounds like you are not alone. This seems to be a problem no matter which OS is installed. Ubuntu or Windows. Read everything from disable airplane mode, to shake the battery, to update bios.
