Try enabling the ACPI_BATTERY layer and ACPI_LV_ALL_EXCEPTIONS level in 
/boot/loader.conf:

        debug.acpi.layer="ACPI_BATTERY"
        debug.acpi.level="ACPI_LV_ALL_EXCEPTIONS"
        debug.acpi.enable_debug_objects="1"    # I assume this is how you turn 
on ACPI debugging without recompiling the kernel with 'options ACPI_DEBUG'

and running 'sysctl hw.acpi.battery' again.  Post /var/log/messages ACPI 
messages about battery here.
