this is a screenshot of what is actually happening

for example my laptop has 80% charge in the battery, i boot up linux, kde will show that battery is 80% and is charging. if the laptop is plugged in or not it will only show that percentage in which the laptop was booted into. if the laptop has 50% battery before booting, it will only show that battery charge until i restart the system and boot into linux ones again or shut down my laptop and boot into linux. if the battery in 100% before booting into it, after booting linux shows that the system doesn't even has a battery.

right now it is showing that i don't have a battery in the taskbar . i typed acpi -b and it is showing :
Battery 0: Not charging, 98%

When this is happening, does `upower -d` agree with the battery charge level shown in the system tray widget?
