Different battery status applets may use different backends for 
monitoring the battery capabilities (i.e., GNOME applet may be using HAL 
while others query directly ACPI). Just guessing O:-)

Or it can be simply that one of the applets is experiencing some kind of 
bug/problem for gathering that data from your machine.

BTW, what is the output of "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info"?
