There seems to be a typo in the battery.sh script. It reads /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state to determine the AC Adaptor state, but this is in the ACAD directory instead of the AC directory.

Hmmm, Dax says it works for him, and I don't have an ac_adapter on my machine because I don't own a laptop. Dax, is this a typo or is it actually called AC on your machine?

On my Dell Inspiron 4150 it is called AC not ACAD.

Hmmmm. Does anybody have any idea why these names differ? Googling for acpi/ac_adapter gives me hits on a number of different programs that check for ac_adapter/*/state. I've seen AC, ACAD, 0 and 1 for names, so they're really pretty variable. So, a wildcard seems appropriate. Dax, if you agree, would you test + send in a patch to correct this? I can't do it myself because I can't test it. TIA!
