I have an averatec 3715-eh1 and the following worked for me

sudo /etc/init.d/acpid stop
sudo killall hald
sudo /etc/init.d/acpid start
sudo hald

the battery applet appears to work properly afterwards
though this procedure needs to be repeated on each X session restart.

looks like a bug in how the various processes startup.
