I did a new round of testing with daily desktop 20090929.2. When booting on battery the Acer Extensa 5635z still dangerously thinks it is not running on battery. (This has previously led to a sudden loss of power when the battery ran out instead of an automatic controlled shutdown. After that I subscribed to this bug.)
Attachment justAfterBootOnBattery.png shows the situation and the output of a devkit-power --dump.
Another devkit-power confusion with this particular hardware is that it says it is charging with 680W when plugged in and charging.
Detailed hardware info for for this Extensa 5635z notebook is attached to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/425165.
I am available for close cooperation with a developer especially during weekdays UTC+2.
