[ltp] 600E battery under apmd

[Tod Harter]

You can disable apmd, but it does provide other useful functions. I guess the 
question is, does apmd prematurely try to shut your machine down? The other 
question is why does this happen in the first place? It sounds like your 
battery is not reporting its charge level accurately. Maybe you have an older 
bios thats buggy? Those can be flashed. I don't know the 600E really well, so 
I am not sure, but something is wrong somewhere...
