battery monitor displays warning when disconnecting #49

Closed cburgard closed 1 year ago

The battery monitor mistakenly displays a "low battery" warning whenever the AC state changes (connected / disconnected). This is not a huge issue in and of itself, but some modern laptops have a battery protection feature that will periodically disable the AC connection when fully charged in order to protect the battery. This leads to a spam of "low battery" warnings when having a laptop connected to a docking station for an extended amount of time. I've tried to look at the implementation for a bit, but couldn't make much sense of it. I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s and running LXDE under archlinux.

I realized I already reported this issue earlier, sorry for the duplicate
