Description Evgeny Brazgin 2012-06-10 21:13:40 UTC 
Battery applet in plasma says, that there's no battery present in my system.

When I open 'kcmshell4 devinfo' and open "Batteries - 42T4861", I see in the right side: "Battery type: unknown. Charge state: nothing" (or something like this, I have russian localization).

In the bottom I see: "UDI: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0". So I check whether upower is aware of my battery.
See the output of upower here: http://paste.kde.org/496874/

So, the problem is neither in my battery nor in upower. But in solid or solid's upower backend.

Restarting computer doesn't help.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Look at battery applet.
Actual Results:  
See 'no battery present'

Expected Results:  
Want to see battery state.

Some addition:

$ solid-hardware details /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
udi = '/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0'
  parent = '/org/freedesktop/UPower'  (string)
  vendor = 'SANYO'  (string)
  product = '42T4861'  (string)
  description = 'Lithium Ion Battery'  (string)
  Battery.plugged = true  (bool)
  Battery.type = 'UnknownBattery'  (0x0)  (enum)
  Battery.chargePercent = 59  (0x3b)  (int)
  Battery.rechargeable = true  (bool)
  Battery.chargeState = 'Discharging'  (0x2)  (enum)


Here I am able to see charge percent.
