Due to changes in kernel 4.18 and up, on some notebooks (Thinkpad/Ideapad/Asus) the status of the battery is reported as unknown by sys-power/upower when fully charged. Fix is in upower git: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/commit/a074631c0b1748c8a791c4f0dad99da75805a328 I can confirm this fixes the issue on my ideapad.
Created attachment 555854 [details] user patch against upower-0.99.8-r1 For convenience, attaching a user patch to put in /etc/portage/patches/sys-power/upower-0.99.8-r1 for affected people to get their battery back.
