Can't disable Statistical Time Estimation calculation

[Chris]

I think I know what's going on. If you have a battery that does not report the discharge or charge rate in the popup, then there is no way to report the time remaining except by using statistical time prediction.

Most netbooks and a lot of HP laptops, for example, only report the percentage remaining, not the actual discharge rate. Windows will then only report percent remaining because it's unable to calculate time remaining (capacity / discharge rate).
