Screenshot of kde-guidance showing battery twice. Edit (20.9 KiB, image/png)

On my Dell notebook, the battery is found twice too - so I think it's not a problem of kpowersave or kde-guidance, but of hal.

In guidance, I see three batteries, whereas battery number 2 is not present. It even shows me three CPU cores, but my CPU only has two (Intel Core 2 Duo).

See attached screenshot.

Thanks for report. This is known regression and HAL (2ith 2.6.24 kernel) and it was already reported. HAL developers are alreadyworking on the proper fix.
