If I start KDE without the laptop battery inserted, it shows (correctly) the battery is abstent, but if I instert it, the applet does not refresh and does not update with the charge status.

This is the output of solid-hardware details /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 before end after battery inserting that confirms solid works correctly

Battery not inserted:
pxpert@PxNetbook ~ $ solid-hardware details /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/
udi = '/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/'
  parent = ''  (string)
  vendor = ''  (string)
  product = ''  (string)
  description = ''  (string)

After inserting battery:
pxpert@PxNetbook ~ $ solid-hardware details /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
udi = '/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0'
  parent = '/org/freedesktop/UPower'  (string)
  vendor = 'ASUS'  (string)
  product = '1015BXO'  (string)
  description = 'Lithium Ion Battery'  (string)
  Battery.plugged = true  (bool)
  Battery.type = 'PrimaryBattery'  (0x3)  (enum)
  Battery.chargePercent = 86  (0x56)  (int)
  Battery.rechargeable = true  (bool)
  Battery.chargeState = 'Charging'  (0x1)  (enum)


If I restart KDE with the battery inserted, it shows battery status correctly

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KDE Without the battery inserted
2. Insert the battery
Actual Results:  
The applet will continue showing there is no battery

Expected Results:  
The applet should show battery status
