Version: (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.2.2 (Gentoo 4.2.2 p1.0) OS: Linux I have a ThinkPad T60p with one system battery. I also have a Logitech MX1000 wireless mouse. The battery widget was showing two batteries, one at 14% and one at 99%, and I was quite confused as to why it was showing a second battery at such a low charge. Using lshal I found the culprit, the MX1000.

Somehow the platform ID got changed while filing the bug report. This was on Gentoo Linux, not Debian.
I can confirm this exactly on my system. First I didn't understood why my notebook seems to have two batteries, but then I saw that the second battery was from the mouse. Mayebe the user should be able to define a UDI per battery applet? Or to list up all systems known batteries allowing the user which UDI(s) should be display within the applet? I would like to put the notebook battery on the panel, but I could imagine to put the mouse battery ex. on the desktop.
Can you provide output of the following command: for udi in `solidshell hardware query "IS Battery" | awk -F "'" '{print $2}'`; do solidshell hardware details $udi; done

It would be nice if if was configurable which batteries show in this plasmoid. On my laptop there are two battery bays, one I use and one empty. Both show in the plasmoid even though I am only interrested in the one with the battery present.
Hmm just saw bug: 155239. Move along please :)

This seems to be fixed on Kubuntu Hardy KDE 4.0.1 and 4.0.2, though I had the problem on Gutsy KDE 4.0.0 and 4.0.1.
I installed KDE 4.0.3 yesterday, and now it shows *three* batteries. One for the mouse, two for the system battery. I'll get an lshal listing later today.

This is with HAL 0.5.10, while the previous listing was with HAL 0.5.9.
Do you still have this problem with 4.1 beta2 or later?
1 week passed and reporter has not added anything about a bug that was for 4.0.0 Please reopen if you still have this problem with 4.1 beta 2 or later
I just upgraded to KDE 4.1 rc1, and the battery widget is still showing two batteries, one for the laptop battery and one for the mouse battery.
i can confirm that this bug is still valid on kde 4.1.1
This is still valid with KDE 4.1.2.
See also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439000
Can you please verify this is still the case in what's to become 4.2? It has tentatively been fixed, confirming it would be good. I'm confident enough to close this bug for now, please reopen if you still encounter it with current trunk (4.1.73-ish).
I can confirm that the battery plasmoid no longer shows a battery icon for my Logitech MX1000 in KDE 4.1.80.
thanks for the confirmation.
Unfortunately, it seems this bug was only partially fixed. When my MX100 mouse is plugged in before the plasmoid starts (KDE 4.1.96, Gentoo), it only shows my system battery. But when I plug my mouse in while the plasmoid is already running, an icon for the mouse battery appears. As far as I understand the code, the bug fix was to check for the battery to be of type "PrimaryBattery" when the plasmoid is initialized. But when a new device is added, this check is missing.
a mandriva user reported me that the bug is still valid for him with kde 4.2.0
Can I have lshal output for this case?
Created attachment 31197 [details] lshal without the mouse battery state
Created attachment 31198 [details] lshal with the mouse battery state This is the lshal when the battery state is shown. When I create it, the system had not yet got the battery charge.
When the system starts with the mouse plugged, the status of its battery is not shown. But if I plug my mouse after system startup, the status of the battery appears immediately.
if this can help, there is the diff between the two states $ diff -Naur without_battery_state with_battery_state --- without_battery_state 2009-04-15 22:49:11.000000000 +0200 +++ with_battery_state 2009-04-15 22:47:20.000000000 +0200 @@ -178,28 +178,28 @@ processor.number = 1 (0x1) (int) udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0' - battery.charge_level.current = 39560 (0x9a88) (int) + battery.charge_level.current = 39726 (0x9b2e) (int) battery.charge_level.design = 57720 (0xe178) (int) battery.charge_level.last_full = 50849 (0xc6a1) (int) - battery.charge_level.percentage = 77 (0x4d) (int) - battery.charge_level.rate = 5738 (0x166a) (int) + battery.charge_level.percentage = 78 (0x4e) (int) + battery.charge_level.rate = 5760 (0x1680) (int) battery.is_rechargeable = true (bool) battery.model = 'DELL FW3028' (string) battery.present = true (bool) battery.rechargeable.is_charging = true (bool) battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false (bool) - battery.remaining_time = 7082 (0x1baa) (int) - battery.reporting.current = 3564 (0xdec) (int) + battery.remaining_time = 6951 (0x1b27) (int) + battery.reporting.current = 3579 (0xdfb) (int) battery.reporting.design = 5200 (0x1450) (int) battery.reporting.last_full = 4581 (0x11e5) (int) - battery.reporting.rate = 517 (0x205) (int) + battery.reporting.rate = 519 (0x207) (int) battery.reporting.technology = 'Li-ion' (string) battery.reporting.unit = 'mAh' (string) battery.serial = '1123' (string) battery.technology = 'lithium-ion' (string) battery.type = 'primary' (string) battery.vendor = 'Sanyo' (string) - battery.voltage.current = 11889 (0x2e71) (int) + battery.voltage.current = 11912 (0x2e88) (int) battery.voltage.design = 11100 (0x2b5c) (int) battery.voltage.unit = 'mV' (string) info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list) @@ -2232,24 +2232,9 @@ usb_device.vendor_id = 7531 (0x1d6b) (int) usb_device.version = 1.1 (1.1) (double) -udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1d6b_1_0000_00_1d_0_usbraw' - info.capabilities = {'usbraw'} (string list) - info.category = 'usbraw' (string) - info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1d6b_1_0000_00_1d_0' (string) - info.product = 'USB Raw Device Access' (string) - info.subsystem = 'usb_device' (string) - info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1d6b_1_0000_00_1d_0_usbraw' (string) - linux.device_file = '/dev/usbdev5.1' (string) - linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) - linux.subsystem = 'usb_device' (string) - linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/usb_device/usbdev5.1' (string) - usbraw.device = '/dev/usbdev5.1' (string) - udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_46d_c501_noserial' - battery.charge_level.current = 7 (0x7) (int) battery.charge_level.design = 7 (0x7) (int) battery.charge_level.last_full = 7 (0x7) (int) - battery.charge_level.percentage = 100 (0x64) (int) battery.command_interface = 'csr' (string) battery.csr.has_res = false (bool) battery.csr.has_sms = false (bool) @@ -2266,23 +2251,20 @@ info.subsystem = 'usb_device' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_46d_c501_noserial' (string) info.vendor = 'Logitech, Inc.'
