I'm pretty sure that, with my battery (~2012 I think),

1) 'cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27000_battery/uevent' reports a 
complete set of information when running under a simple Debian 
distribution; and

2) I don't get any sensible battery/charging information in the 
Replicant UI.

Therefore I'm not completely persuaded that the Replicant issue is just 
an 'old battery' problem...
