My battery is currently 60% charged, but BatteryBar is reporting that it will finish charging in 2 minutes (Down from 3 minutes which it was just a little while ago).

Obviously, I'm still an hour or so away before being fully charged, but this problem seems to occur quite regularly. Is this a fixable issue?

Please generate a debug report starting before you start charging and run it until at least you see the time remaining drop to a really low value. Send or post your BatteryBar.Profiles.xml file as well.

I had some trouble duplicating the problem, but I eventually managed to see it reoccur: I accidentally disconnected the cable from the laptop and plugged it back in. This is when the recharge time dropped to a really low value, and I was able to get an error log after this point. Like I say, I had trouble duplicating this until now, so I haven't got a log of before the error started, so let me know if this log isn't good enough and I'll enable debug mode permanently until I can get the best log for you.

The problem appears to be that there are a bunch of "0"'s for the recharge time for every percent from 67 through 100%. I'm not sure why that would happen.

It does seem to have something to do with pulling out the power plug and putting it back in. Try turning on debug logging with about 70%-80% remaining and then fiddle with the power cord. I think that it may have something to do with how fast you plugged it back in, but I'm not sure.
