(Get the code!)
Just to clarify the problems i have seen and what my test has fixed.
On the aspire one the charge is correctly reported from boot until the charge is full.
Then if you remove the powercord gnome power manager reports full charge until the battery dies.
This is due to the fact that upower stops polling the battery when the charge is full.
upower has a poll of the battery on changes in the ac supply but when the battery is fully charged it takes a while for it to start reporting that it is discharging so the automatic polls around ac power event does not catch this and it disables the polling of the battery.
restaring upowerd or plugging in the AC power will remedy this, provided the battery isn't full yet.
