Hi, I think that hal is not reporting what it should about battery states (at least).

I bet you have
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER=y
and
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER=n


CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER=n
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER=y



Cheers,
Michael

This is partly related to #455198 and the new power sysfs interface in kernel 2.6.24. Until this new sysfs interface is stable and fully functional within hal I'd suggest to use This is obviously not the real fix, but better than broken battery values atm.
