I just performed a apt-get upgrade this afternoon and started seeing this issue with my Logitech K810 Bluetooth keyboard and Dell XPS 13 laptop. Pretty sure it wasn't there before. The laptop now shows the keyboard battery in the top panel. When I click on the battery icon, I can see two batteries listed, the first one is the keyboard battery which is the actively displayed in the top panel, the second the laptop's battery.
See attached screenshot, the keyboard battery is identified as a laptop battery.

When they are treated as system battery, it will make the system poweroff/suspend/hibernate when some Bluetooth device has critical low battery. It is a very annoying behavior for the users. Originally, there is no such Bluetooth battery information until Ubuntu 12.04 brings linux-quantal-lts and linux-raring-lts, so those linux kernels also bring this issue. [Test Case] * Pair some Bluetooth devices, such as Apple Wireless Mouse or Apple Wireless Keyboard. * Click the power indicator and you can find Apple Wireless Mouse is listed as system battery, and there is no Apple Wireless Keyboard. If you open gnome-power-statistics, you can find the 'Supply' field of Apple Wireless Mouse is 'Yes' but it should not be. [Regression Potential] * There is no obvious regression as I know. [Other Info] * Most patches are from upstream, modified to fix the conflicts, and made by the same developer (i.e. fourdollars). * We need another patch from https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d0a934b764c67b4bf626f5b7cf725a6e3066afd2 to make Apple Wireless Keyboard showing. [Original Bug Description] This is a weird one... the system is an HP Pavilion 23 All In One and is powered by a large power supply brick. I currently have an Apple Magic Mouse connected via Bluetooth. As soon as the mouse is connected, the Battery indicator shows up and clicking on that shows that the system is reading my mouse as a battery! See the attached screen shot for what I see in the Power status. Looking at hcitool: ubuntu@201206-11396:~$ hcitool dev Devices: hci0 9C:B7:0D:80:71:DB To make matters even more weird, I actually observed the battery indicator go from full to "Critically Low" and the system suspended itself. Keep in mind, again, that this system has NO battery, it's reading my bluetooth mouse as a battery device. I disconnected the magic mouse and the battery indicator went to Empty Red outline and status showed Battery Disconnected.
