Windows XP thinks I'm still on AC Power (when running on batteries)

Question

New Dell Latitude D630.  Power icon on taskbar shows as 'on AC power', even when I'm running on batteries.  I've tried booting up from only the battery, but no change.  Any solutions to this problem?  Thanks.

Problem solved!  Went into safe mode -> Device Manager, removed everything under 'Batteries'.  Restarted the computer and problem gone.
