Apple STILL hasn't fixed this? Am I the ONLY one getting this message on my 700mhz iBook? It's a pain because it gives the low battery warning at 60% power but not when it really IS low.

I believe this is a known problem and is documented in Apples knowledge base somewhere. I get it sometimes, I just ignore it. We will probably see a fix for it in 10.2.2

Yah, rev A TiBook and I get the same message but its sporadic.

For example, sometimes when I disconnect the 'book from its charger and take it into another room to use it will give me the warning, and other times not. Battery is always at %100 or close to it.

Pretty strange but no biggie since its easy to ignore. OTOH, I'd surely appreciate the 'book warning me that its gonna sleep when the battery really is low. Thats caught me a couple of times.
TiBook (400Mhz, 256MB, 30GB, Airport) / iMac 350 (350Mhz, 384MB, 4B, AIrport) / iMac DV+ (450Mhz, 320MB, 20GB, Airport) / PowerMac 5500/275 (64MB, 20GB) / Mac TV / Mac SE / iPod (5GB) / iPaq 3850 / Sony AIBO (just for fun)
