Title:
  Secondary battery fails to appear in notifier

Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this is a Unity bug (so please don't shoot me if I'm
  wrong)...

  I have a Lenovo T430s with the optional, secondary, Bay Battery
  installed. At times, the battery indicator will only display the
  status of one battery. Opening "Power Statistics" also displays only
  one battery. Unity is confused and thinks there is only one battery,
  and that it is actually charging when in fact the machine is
  discharging from the secondary battery. I guess this will cause the
  machine to ignore any power savings options until the bay battery runs
  out of juice and the main battery starts to drain.

  > dmesg |grep batt
  [    1.052681] ACPI: Deprecated procfs I/F for battery is loaded, please retry with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER cleared
  [    1.052694] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present)
  [    1.052710] ACPI: Deprecated procfs I/F for battery is loaded, please retry with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER cleared
  [    1.052728] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery present)

  [    1.063055] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery present)
  [    1.064222] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present)

  Steps to reproduce:
  Install bay battery
  Reboot

  
  Workaround:
  Connect and disconnect charger (if you happen to be near a power outlet).
