weird battery behavior

it's a period that my laptop behave very strange.
I have a Dell Vostro 3350.
When the power plug is in the battery is 100%. Immediately after i remove it is 57%. If you need some output just ask because i really don't know which kind of it i should post.
Thank a lot and i'm really a little bit scared about that.

What are those figures based on?

after this question i can see that the battery monitor of gnome behave like described before. Instead of that acpi say this

$ acpi    //with power plug
Battery 0: Full, 100%
$ acpi //without power plug
Battery 0: Discharging, 99%, 13:25:51 remaining

so apparently the problem is gnome

Glad I asked. KDE's battery monitor is fairly bizarre, too. (Sometimes it even denies I have a battery but usually it is just not very accurate - it seems to go in very big steps e.g. 95/100% down to 70ish% down to 60ish% down to 40ish% down to 20is%). Fine distinctions don't seem to be its thing.
