Just installed 13.10 on my laptop with two batteries (previously running Gentoo). Got worried when battery seemed to be draining much faster than Gentoo/Gnome, but realised it was basing it's calculations on a single battery. It just went from "0%" to "98%" as the laptop switched between batteries. Both were present in the dropdown, as in the initial bug report. Any news?

Linux #### 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The power indicator (indicator-power, version 0.9-0ubuntu2) does not combine the status of both batteries. E.g. if one battery still has 1 hour left, and the other has 2 hours left, it will show 1:00 or 2:00, instead of 3:00. E.g. When the external battery is almost run out (but the internal one is still charged), the indicator becomes red, instead of staying white/grey. It should only be red when both batteries are almost drained. E.g. when the internal one is fully charged, and the external one is discharging, the estimated time show is the estimated time that the external one will be discharged, not taking into account the internal one. see attached screenshot (total time show should be around 4 hours) The original applet provided by gnome (I re-enabled the notification area) does (still) have the behavior as I expect. In other words, this is a regression compared to 10.10 (pre-unity).
