Description Armitage 2020-05-08 15:35:35 UTC 
The powerdevil does not show the battery remaining time, only the percentage is shown.

Sometimes (don't know how to reproduce it) the remaining time is shown but not updated (is stays stuck with the same value).

The upower shows the battery remaining time and the value is correct and gets updated.

I'm running plasma 5.17.5-r1.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install plasma 5.
2. Disconnect the power cable.
Actual Results:  
The battery remaining time is not shown (sometimes is shown but it's not updated).

Expected Results:  
The battery remaining time should be shown and should be updated.

I edited .config/plasmawindowedrc in order to add showBatteryString=true and showRemainingTime=true but the result is the same.
