Public bug reported:

After upgrading to KDE 4.11.2 in Kubuntu 13.10, the system started to
automatically shutdown when on battery and one of the two batteries is
low or dead even though the other battery is fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have 2 batteries
2. Drain one

Actual Results:  
System constantly shutsdown until plugged in or the dead battery is removed.

Expected Results:  
The system does not shutdown just because one of the systems batteries is dead.

This is a very frustrating, reoccurring bug with power management and it
seems that the current system looks at batteries individually instead of
working on a summation of all batteries attached to a system. Another
way of testing this might be to use a laptop plugged into a UPS although
I can't remember if the battery management system monitors those
batteries or if it was just the gnome power manager version that did
(wishlist item if KDE's doesn't).
