my battery doesnot show correct reading of power status. it shows 100% then after sometime it jumps down to 7% and it takes time to reach 3%. then my computer hibernates because i have configured to hibernate in 3%. it all happens with in 30 minutes time. and i had also installed other battery monitoring software those were considered to be competitive in the market. but that also didnt work out. before 2 months i had flashed my motherboard bios with the latest version. i think the problem came after that. or it might be the problem of mother board or it may be battery. do u have any suggestion on how to get my precise monitoring of battery.

Seeing that you are in the Mountain Time Zone do you have a Batteries Plus around you that you could take it to and have the battery checked? If not then you might want to consider a new battery.
How old is the battery?

I would suggest taking it to a Batteries Plus or someplace that can test it and make sure it is charging and\or has enough amperage\wattage to work correctly.
