This is happening to me as well.

When I add a secondary battery on my laptop via ACPI Hotplug (with or without restarting) it displays double of it as well.

So when I have two battery sources -- Ubuntu-Gnome-Power-Manager in Hardy displays FOUR Batteries instead of Two Batteries (like it actually has). This problem never occurred in any previous releases of Ubuntu.
