Bug Description
My laptop (a Lenovo T560) has two batteries. They show correctly when I click on the power manager plugin - for example one might say 21% remaining 25 minutes and the other might show 5% remaining 15 minutes left. However, when I hover over the battery I see 11% remaining 20 minutes. Instead of the correct 40 minutes left. It appears that the two batteries are being averaged together but that's not how this laptop works - it runs one battery down and then switches to the other, so the available power should be added together not averaged.
I am running Xubuntu 16.04.1 fully updated as I write.
Please let me know if I can provide additional information.
