I am using the most recent (to date) LXPanel version 0.10.1 with Gentoo GNU/Linux on a Lenovo laptop with a battery, model 45N1011, manufactured by LGC.
Defect (bug): the Battery Monitor panel applet continuously sends false "Battery Low" alarm notifications and the applet's bar graph is shown in yellow, in some common situations, where the following conditions apply:
The computer is on AC power, seated in a docking station and the battery is present.
The battery is nearly full of energy and computed energy level may vary from 96% to 99%.
No power is being drawn from the battery, so reasonably the applet shows "Power now = 0 mW".
The battery status (e.g. /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status) is fairly reported as "Not charging", and that is quite expected behavior from the embedded electronic in the battery module, since the battery is nearly full.
The time left if the battery was supplying power (if there was no AC power) can not be computed since the power consumption is unknown, so time left is fairly reported as "0:00".
Expected behavior:
The applet's bar graph shall be green and "Battery Low" alarms shall not appear, since there is AC power and the battery is nearly full.
Additional information:
The defect does not appear, if energy level is 100% and all the other conditions above hold true.
The defect with continuous false alarms, as described above, was not present in LXPanel version 0.10.0.
