In the battery monitor tooltip the time remaining is never updated as the battery is depleted (the % of charge remaining is updated however) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unplug laptop power cable 2. Move cursor over battery monitor tooltip. 3. The time remaining is shown along with percentage of charge remaining. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3. Observe time remaining. Actual Results: The charge remaining is updated if you move the mouse over the battery monitor. However, the time remaining stays the same. Expected Results: The time remaining should be updated as the battery depletes.

I cannot reproduce this issue running master. Both the batterymonitor tooltip (hovering the tray icon) as well as the tooltip of an individual battery is updated properly. Can you repeatedly check the output of upower -d whether the time updates there? If it does not, this is likely a driver/acpi issue.
Hi, the times are completely different. Battery monitor tooltip = 1:49:20 1st upower -d = 4.8 hours 2nd upower -d = 2.4 hours 3rd upowerd -d = 2.8 hours 4th upowerd -d = 4.8 hours P
So what happens with this? is it an upstream bug? Kai?

@Weng, i'm guessing this could/should be backported to kde-workspace also?
