For what it's worth: I tried Linux Mint 15 MATE (on CD boot using "compatibility mode") and it recognized the battery and also recognized if the battery was charging or discharging (Precise does not change this status in "Power Statistics"). BUT it also did not update the battery charge status (stayed at the same percentage level).
