Well basically yes, it doesn't behaves really nicely when no battery is
present. If you can dig the code and cook a patch for displaying a nice
“No battery”, feel free, but I don't hold your breathe for upstream
change on this. It's not really maintained because there's a new branch
hal-based in development, and not much development on the stable branch.
We already patch it pretty heavily for sysfs support.
