that info in #462723 is wrong hal already uses /sysfs
it as not yet switched *all* info afais.
sjoerd is working on adding the missing userspace part.
best check support with lshal.

i send a patch upstream for missing battery serial nr /sys file
and got it acked by maintainer, waiting for it to show up it in git-acpi
to add it do debian.

concerning acpi i didn't research if upstream has already fixes.
#462305 has been also cloned to #462796

following helps too:
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_now
