In Ubuntu 14.04 (Kernel 3.13.*) acpi battery status info worked fine and
presented info in

/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/

I tested 15.04 (Kernel 3.19.*) and noticed that there isnt any BAT0 in the above said folder anymore. I did some reading at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/28/94 and came to conlusion that I should do a

sudo modprobe sbs_battery

After that there is a 
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1

which would be nice if only its information was updated at all. But all info read from 
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/*
will not change - it seems to get updated only once at boot time / first load of the module.
