Comment 8 for bug 1086746

I played around with several udev rules and inspected the upower source code. It appears that the kernel (in my case 3.7.0-7-generic) reports the device with the subsystem 'power_supply' with type 'Battery':

Reading the source code for ./linux/up-device-supply.c, it seems that upower doesn't expect CSR devices to be in the kernel, and therefore setting the kind as UP_DEVICE_KIND_BATTERY.

A udev rule like the following doesn't convince upower otherwise:

KERNEL=="hid-00:07:61:F7:60:01-battery", SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ENV{UPOWER_VENDOR}="Logitech, Inc.", ENV{UPOWER_PRODUCT}="diNovo Edge", ENV{UPOWER_BATTERY_TYPE}="keyboard"
