It's odd that the state matches the battery_level attribute. If the state represents the battery level, you can use customize to set device_class to battery. and the package will treat it as a battery.

homeassistant:
  customize:
    sensor.tradfri_wireless_dimmer:
      device_class: battery

If the state doesn't represent the battery level, then try forcing a state change on the device or just wait for it to report in.

The Remote control has the same, state matches the battery_level attribute, however this battery is picked up by you package automatically. Will try your suggestion to modify the customize for the device
