Description
This module, and consequently the battery-life module, do not work on all Linux-based systems due to a hard-coded expectation of the location of the battery in the filesystem (ie. `/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/`). For instance, my Arch Linux machine uses `/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/`, although some systems may still use the now deprecated (as of kernel 2.6.24) `/proc` for such information.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the module and the battery-life module for the hard-coded /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/ path. Compare the reported UPower path with /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/ and the deprecated /proc location, then determine the supported discovery behavior and how it should be tested. Done means battery information works across the relevant Linux layouts.
