This happens at some hardware (some Acer laptops/netbooks, for example), when DeviceKit-Power/UPower enumerate primary battery device not as battery_BAT0 ( see this comments for details- http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/battery-status-01-released-improved.html#disqus_thread )

in my case, the battery "name" is C1BE, so i have modified these lines:

  704: self.power_battery_name = "battery_C1BE"
2331: self.power_battery_name = "battery_C1BE"

New version with fixed bug available in PPA - https://edge.launchpad.net/~iaz/+archive/battery-status
Now code detects battery without any hard-coded variables, so looks like bug has been fixed.
But let me know and post comment here, if problem still exists.
