Strange behavior of my Accu

Greetings,
well, I've some trouble with my accu in my Sony Vaio PCG-FX505 and Woody with
a self built 2.4.20 Kernel from testing.. The whole computer switches of
after a few minutes of use without any warning about a low battery (like a
blinking light) and I cannot switch it on.
But the strange thing is, that if a connect it to the power supply unit,
switch it on an release the supply unit after two seconds, I'm able to boot.
If a boot WinXP, WinXP will tell me, that the reamaining capacity of the accu
is 80% and run for 45 min. But if I boot Linux, the System "simulates" an
empty accu an turn off.
What's going on here?
<theory>
The voltage of the nearly 1,5 year old accu decreases rapidly to a lower
level, when the capacity reaches 80%. Windows might be more tollerant in
handling low voltages or jumping voltage than Linux, which do it in order to
prevent hardware demages.
Anyway, is there a way to set the tollerance?
</theory>
Keep smiling
