I think this is a bug in hal.

lshal | grep -i bat
  [...]
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/device:01/PNP0C09:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0' (string)

hal reports different values than in linux.sysfs_path/* It seems that hal reloads values *only* on an acpi event, e.g., unplugging power. Values in the directory are getting changed while lshal reports still the same values unless I generate an acpi event using power cord (plug/unplug). Maybe other acpi events work as well.
