Public bug reported: In several places, the battery status for my Logitech M557 Bluetooth mouse is being incorrectly reported as a generic battery or laptop battery.
This shows up in two places related to gnome-power-manager. In the System Settings/Power screen, under the heading "Batteries" there are two bars, one for "Main" and one for "Extra." The "Main" corresponds to the laptop battery and the "Extra" corresponds to the mouse battery. I expected to see a separate entry for the mouse, or at least a more descriptive label than "Extra." In the gnome-power-statistics interface, the mouse battery appears as "Laptop battery" with a model "Bluetooth Mouse M557." It should appear as a "Mouse battery: or "Bluetooth Mouse battery" or something similar. I am not certain that this is the appropriate package for the bug report because I do not know which is responsible for the initial error or whether it is an independent error in several packages. If I am in the wrong place, I would appreciate help routing this to the correct place. This (or a similar) bug also shows up in indicator-power. Let me know if I should post a bug separately for that package---I am holding off because it seems possible that is a knock-on effect of the problem here and I don't want to spam the bug reports.
