This is by design. Personally, I don't want to see a battery icon when
the battery is completely full. Following my philosophy of "fdpowermon
ships with the configuration that I prefer", that means you won't see it
either unless you change the configuration.
If you do want to see the icon when the battery is full, you need to
edit /etc/fdpowermon/theme.cfg (or copy that to
~/.config/fdpowermon/theme.cfg and edit it there), and change the bit
that says "99:battery-charging.png" in the "charging" line to say
"100:battery-charging.png" instead.

and pretty much all of them are just lying to themselves too.
