Actually my 1Ghz ti did the same thing this morning.  I was switching
batteries and after I inserted the power plug...I noticed that the battery
read "0"   I always leave my 2 batteries...when stored...at the recommended
45-60% charged deal.  So, I pulled this one in and out, reset the power
manager...did a total reset pushing the internal reset button...zilch.  I
went for a walk, came back and the charge was up to 14%.  Go figure.  But
all seems well.  Later...back up to 99% but not fluctuating as usual...as
per the built-in recycling between 95 and 100% while plugged in.  When I put
the other battery in, it read 67%.  About right.  Not sure why...several
reports of different issues on MacFixit.  Just my recent experience.
Cheers
