Bug Description

I have one of the new Lenovo T440 ultrabooks, which has an internal battery, and an extra external slice battery. When the external battery depletes, the internal battery takes over, but indicator-power always shows the dead battery as the active battery in the panel. Ideally I would think that with two batteries you would get a combined percentage left, rather than just one battery status? I can click the icon and see both, but the wrong one is showing up when just looking up at the panel.

I have included a screenshot.
