My 755 had been going into emergency suspend (after the alarms)
whith the meter still reading 30%. A friend of mine suggested that
the meter will be more accurate after going through a complete
auto-drain-recharge cycle. (remember to disable suspend during the
cycle). At least that was his experience on a compaq.
