Bug Description

When there are two batteries in one machine, and one of the batteries is empty then this is shown as:

  (not present)

which is misleading. In this case, the wording should somehow instead that the battery is present but empty.

Hi Paul, thanks for the bug report.

Can you open a terminal and post here the outup of 'upower -d' when the second battery is empty?

Changed in indicator-power:
status: New → Incomplete

Javier: will do (both for here and for bug #845769 too), but having just charged both I'll wait until the next time I let them run down.
