--- Comment #7 from Kai Uwe Broulik <kde at privat.broulik.de> ---
You're right, the battery monitor should hide in the popup and the tooltip
should reflect the missing battery.

Can you have a look at the "powermanagement" dataengine using
plasmaengineexplorer (part of plasma-sdk)? Look in the "Battery" section (not
Battery0) and see what it says for "Has Cumulative". It has two properties, one
"Has Battery" which is whether there is any battery at all (your
mouse/keyboard), and "Has Cumulative" whether there is a battery actually
powering the device.

Okay, I found the issue for the tooltip: The thing just checks if
(batteries.count == 0) instead of the "Has Cumulative" property and then it
says "x% charging". The mystery is now why the applet did not hide itself in
the popup automatically, according to your upower output both devices correctly
report "power supply: no".
