Andreas, what do you see when you run the acpi tool? or at least poll the situation with any other tool than the battery widget?

Voting doesn't help, we notice every bug and take care of it as soon as possible. Please, continue the discussion in the open issue if any, and refrain to comment on duplicates to avoid losing possible important pieces of information. This bug is very likely upstream, as in fact mentioned in the original report.
