HAL-0.5.10 and 0.5.11rc2 both show the battery of my iBook G4 twice in kpowersave. I compiled HAL with PMU support and disabled all APM stuff (emulation) in the kernel (2.6.24). I also installed the latest version of hal-info, but that didn't change it either. Here is the output of "lshal | grep battery": udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pmu_battery_0_0' battery.charge_level.current = 1938 (0x792) (int) battery.charge_level.design = 4316 (0x10dc) (int) battery.charge_level.last_full = 4316 (0x10dc) (int) battery.charge_level.percentage = 44 (0x2c) (int) battery.charge_level.rate = 1980 (0x7bc) (int) battery.is_rechargeable = true (bool) battery.present = true (bool) battery.rechargeable.is_charging = true (bool) battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false (bool) battery.remaining_time = 4323 (0x10e3) (int) battery.technology = 'unknown' (string) battery.type = 'primary' (string) info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list) info.category = 'battery' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pmu_battery_0_0' (string) linux.pmu_path = '/proc/pmu/battery_0' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/pmu-battery.0/power_supply/pmu-ac' (string) udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_PMU_battery_0' battery.charge_level.current = 1930 (0x78a) (int) battery.charge_level.design = 0 (0x0) (int) battery.charge_level.last_full = 4316 (0x10dc) (int) battery.charge_level.percentage = 44 (0x2c) (int) battery.charge_level.rate = 1980 (0x7bc) (int) battery.is_rechargeable = true (bool) battery.model = 'Smart' (string) battery.present = true (bool) battery.rechargeable.is_charging = true (bool) battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false (bool) battery.remaining_time = 4338 (0x10f2) (int) battery.reporting.current = 1930 (0x78a) (int) battery.reporting.last_full = 4316 (0x10dc) (int) battery.reporting.rate = 1980 (0x7bc) (int) battery.reporting.unit = 'mWh' (string) battery.technology = 'unknown' (string) battery.type = 'primary' (string) battery.voltage.current = 11791 (0x2e0f) (int) info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list) info.category = 'battery' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_PMU_battery_0' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/pmu-battery.0/power_supply/PMU battery 0' (string) udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_pmu_battery_0' info.product = 'Platform Device (pmu-battery.0)' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_pmu_battery_0' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/pmu-battery.0' (string) platform.id = 'pmu-battery.0' (string)

So, just for the sake of completeness and as information for everybody: The problem of the battery shown twice is caused by the sysfs power_supply option in the kernel. Disabling it makes everything work as expected immediately. The sysfs device is not yet aware of the AC events. So until this gets fixed, we need to go with the /proc approach. The kernel guys know of it and will probably do something about it...
Commited fix to git.
