I have a dirty fix which I use to get the battery indicator on the bar

1) Install package powertop
2) run powertop
3) the battery indicator magically appears

But this is so annoying. Why is the battery not recognized sometimes and
other times found? I wish there was an option to say that the machine is
a laptop and has a battery ALWAYS
