I just tested it again, and it appears we create a power_supply node at
each connect event. Switching the device off and on creates a lot of
those :)
That's easy to fix

I couldn't managed to get this working. I played with ONLINE and
PRESENT, but each time the battery was reported with the fake values.
The problem we also see with the Logitech devices is that they do not
provide the battery capacity at all while charging. I think UPower
caches the last known value, and we should probably do the same (and use
the provided hints to give a rough idea depending on the charging
status).

That should be easy enough to do.

Seems like a reasonable thing to do. Especially because the power_supply
node is created when the device first gets connected, which means that
you'll see the input node first and then the power supply at some point,
later, or maybe never.
