For me, it affects me with the Lenovo Bluetooth Laser Mouse connected. There's no dongle, only connected to the internal bluetooth of my ThinkPad (it's a broadcom chip, but I don't think it's important). And sometimes, Ubuntu thinks that the battery is going dead, and shuts off!!! It's REALLY frustrating and unneccesary, because the laptop battery actually has 4-5 hours left of charge.... Also it displays the bluetooth mouse battery in the statusbar instead of the main battery, which is really strange and annoying.. I want Ubuntu to notify when BT mouse battery is getting low, but not turn off the computer by mistake :/ You know?

This would seem like a good thing, except that upower indicator reports it as a regular laptop/system battery, and even proposing to power off my desktop system if the keyboard battery happens to drain completely. That is unacceptable behaviour. I rectified it by manually editing settings- daemon power settings with dconf-editor, so the critical action was set to "nothing". (The regular power system settings GUI would NOT let me select this value, which is pretty strange.)
