Bug Description

Not sure why, but my power indicator shows 99% battery all the time. If you click the indicator, it displays a second (I suspect the true battery) that is discharging. It's very confusing. Using a Lenovo Thinkpad X240. I attached a screenshot to display what I mean.

Can you please confirm that the wingpanel has not frozen? (ie the time is still updating and if you click on an indicator, the indicator opens)

Confirming that wingpanel was not frozen. It seems as though the way it calculates the battery percentage is different. I used tint2 with its battery applet and it seems to give a more accurate reading of my battery life. Do you need more screenshots?
