On my machine, all the battery widgets report their states incorrectly, because there seems to be a bug in firmware/upower that casues the state to be reported incorrectly:

It looks like this can be fixed by calling the Refresh method on any batteries immediately after a state change:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 org.freedesktop.UPower.Device.Refresh

I think the approach that I will take to fixing this is to call refresh automatically on any state change with exponetial backoff and a 10 second max.
