The ACPI-spec only asks for a present-rate, if you use a
rechargeable-battery, and are in state discharging. So this is against the
specs, as you are probably not using one-way-cells. Whith my Acer TM-630 I
found out, that the present-rate is hard-coded to be unknown in the DSDT.
So just have a look into your DSDT.
But anyway, if there is software, that may not handle an unknown
presen-rate, it is broken. With software, I do not mean ACPI or DSDT, but
userspace tools.
