This is partly related to #455198 and the new power sysfs interface in 
kernel 2.6.24.
I bet you have
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER=y
and
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER=n

Until this new sysfs interface is stable and fully functional within hal 
I'd suggest to use
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER=n
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER=y

This is obviously not the real fix, but better than broken battery 
values atm.

Cheers,
Michael
