as any other people patching batstat-applet, you're hardcoding into it
the names of *your* apci devices. my ac/dc is names AC (and not ACDC
like yours) and the battery is BAT0. the _only_ way to have a battstat
working with any hardware is to scan the /proc directories and use the
names found here.
