As noted by Kihong, the latest draft addresses the TODOs:

  http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/system-info/battery-status.html

The W3C Device APIs Working Group intends to hit Last Call i.e. stable draft 
with the above version at the end of this month.

The topic was, indeed, discussed in the group. We tried a more complex 
approach, but it did not fly. I can give you some pointers off the list if 
you're interested in delving into that.

The spec is intentionally designed to abstract away such details. A typical web 
app developer should not be concerned about the complexities of multiple 
batteries a device may have.

Further spec specific feedback is welcome, preferably to public-device-apis ML:
