SUMMARY
99% of the time, it is not correctly reported when my laptop is unplugged and instead will always show that it's plugged in but discharging.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Unplug Power

OBSERVED RESULT
Power shows it's plugged in but discharging and low power triggers do not fire correctly

EXPECTED RESULT
Power shows that it's unplugged, and low power triggers should start correctly.
