Title:
  Uninformative display with multiple batteries

Status in “indicator-power” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My laptop has two batteries (Lenovo Thinkpad) with the main one and a
  second one instead of the DVD drive.  This indicator correctly knows
  that there are two batteries - clicking on it to get the menu shows
  both batteries and their (separate) statuses.

  However the icon/text display only shows the first battery.   This
  system drains the second battery completely first.  The text display
  will just say "100%" until the second is drained at which point it
  starts counting down.  Similarly it only shows charge remaining time
  for the first battery.  (The drop down does show correct information.)

  The calculations should be summed over all batteries in the system.
  For example the time remaining depends on the sum of all battery
  remaining charges divided by the sum of all battery discharge rates
  and something similar being applicable for charge time.
