The information is properly exported in the sysfs:
| $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/{charge_{full,now},voltage_now}
| 5450000
| 5450000
| 8316000
If the tools are not able to use them, it is their bug. No bug in the
kernel.

Subject: linux-image-2.6.29-2-686: Optoin CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER is not set -- battery monitors don't work
Package: linux-image-2.6.29-2-686
Version: 2.6.29-5
Severity: wishlist
File: /lib/modules/2.6.29-2-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/battery.ko
The ACPI battery module appears to be built with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER
unset. That leaves it pretty useless. Things like gui battery monitors and
even powertop require this file to report the battery usage.
