Comment(by tuxgirl):

 It looks to me like this is a case of a bad battery.  I swapped batteries
 with my husband, and his machine died when it hit 85% battery.  Unless you
 have anything else you want me to look at, I'm going to try to get a
 replacement battery.
 Feel free to close this ticket if my diagnosis sounds correct to you.
 Thanks a ton for the help!
