My laptop has a BIOS controlled LED to indicate when the battery is charging as apposed to being fully charged. When my laptop is either discharging or charging the battery indicator in gnome 3 or unity is correctly showing the battery state. Once the battery reaches a fully charged state, the battery indicator switches to an empty battery indicator with a charging indicator. This issue started for me in Maverick (10.10) and has persisted through 11.04 and onto 11.10.

After charging it, I disconnected it from the charger and opened it. My battery was full but the battery icon still shows an empty battery. The battery monitor from Docky shows the correct power level for the battery though, so the indicator applet should be able to read the power level from the computer correctly.
