 Ok, I've implemented this. When the AC Adapter is not connected:
 
 acpiacad0 connected:        OFF
 
        acpibat0 present:         ON
     acpibat0 design cap:      4.000 Ah
  acpibat0 last full cap:      3.919 Ah
     acpibat0 technology:          1
 acpibat0 design voltage:     10.800 V
       acpibat0 warn cap:      0.234 Ah ( 5.97%)
        acpibat0 low cap:      0.136 Ah ( 3.47%)
        acpibat0 voltage:     10.920 V
    acpibat0 charge rate:        N/A
 acpibat0 discharge rate:      0.000 A
         acpibat0 charge:      0.796 Ah (20.31%) critical ( 2.50%)
       acpibat0 charging:        OFF
 
 And when it's connected:
 
 acpiacad0 connected:         ON
 
        acpibat0 present:         ON
     acpibat0 design cap:      4.000 Ah
  acpibat0 last full cap:      3.919 Ah
     acpibat0 technology:          1
 acpibat0 design voltage:     10.800 V
       acpibat0 warn cap:      0.234 Ah ( 5.97%)
        acpibat0 low cap:      0.136 Ah ( 3.47%)
        acpibat0 voltage:     11.606 V
    acpibat0 charge rate:      0.000 A
 acpibat0 discharge rate:        N/A
         acpibat0 charge:      0.797 Ah (20.34%) critical ( 2.50%)
       acpibat0 charging:         ON
 
 I used "ON/OFF" only for Indicators, do you want it for all sensors?
 
 Quentin suggested to use "N/A" when it's invalid.
