Hello St=E9phane,

This is most probably a bug in hal. KDE still uses hal for hardware
detection/management, but since it's unmaintained, I wouldn't expect
this to be fixed anytime soon or at all.

Out of interest, can you install "upower" on your machine (if it's not
already present), and in this situation (i. e. boot when on battery
without AC), check the output of "upower --dump" whether it detects
your battery?

Thanks,

Martin
