Looking at that patch their ACPI support is not more than an ugly
hack... Hardcoding battery names is bad... as is hard-coding AC device
names...
My power supply is still called "AC"...
And i think these names are not in the acpi source, but come from the
ACPI table of the Bios - so they are hardware dependant.

(And for sure not every machine uses BAT1 as battery, most might
use BAT0 first...)
