If you're using APM, there's unfortunately no reliable way (we can't trust the
DMI tables, sorry) to detect whether there is a battery or not so we have to do
this. Suggest to use ACPI instead and then this won't happen.
I've noted upstream (I'm upstream) to only read /proc/apm once per poll and
perhaps poll less often (say every ten seconds instead of every two seconds) -
that will be in the next release.
