Description Morse 2013-09-15 00:12:42 UTC 
I have a wireless mouse Logitech M510, and gnome says that it's battery is almost dead (1%). First of all, I'm sure it's not true. Second of all, does this mouse really have the battery-level-report function at all? But the most important is: now I can't see what is the level of my main battery. The icon is constantly saying to me that the level is critical, which is disturbing, when you're working from battery.

Can you make the warnings about critical level of non-main batteries switchable?
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2013-09-15 11:34:19 UTC 
No, that's not planned, we should instead fix the battery reporting for your mouse, whether in upower or in the kernel.

What's the output of "upower -d" when this warning appears?

Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2013-09-16 10:42:18 UTC 
This looks an awful lot like a regression in upower that ended up getting fixed in upower master.

See the discussions at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.devicekit.devel in particular:
"K750 fixes in hidpp-rework branch (was: Re: UPower 0.9.21)"
and
"K750 fixes in hidpp-rework branch"

Try using upower master to start with.
Comment 4 Morse 2013-10-16 10:35:21 UTC 
Just noticed that with upower 0.9.22 the battery level appears to be correct (or at least shows some plausible value).

Closing.
