I have an ASUS K53E. The battery reports a capacity of about 76.5%, i.e 43.8 Wh of 57.2 Wh.

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04, my laptops suddenly turns off: no suspend, hibernate or gracefully shut down, but a drastic lost of power...

This happens when my laptop still reports more than 20% of charge. It seems that I need to mentally subtract the 100% - 76.5% = 23.5% to see that I need to plug my laptop...

Does anyone else has reported this issue?

I have a similar issue on my HP Pavilion dm4. Laptop turns off on its own randomly when under load. Temperatures not an issue, the laptop works fine when plugged in. I can easily replicate the issue when running intellij idea and re-indexing.

The laptop then only starts when I plug it in.

I also have windows on the laptop and those work ok on battery.
