I think the simplest way to see if it's charging would be to run
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state | grep remain
Make a note of the number, then run the same command a few moments later. If
the number has gone up, the battery is charging correctly, and the problem is
the way the graphical interface is reporting the battery state.
