So after researching a little more I found out that Acer uses a so called "smart battery" that uses a different bus then normal and this is why Ubuntu(or any other distros) can't find it.
I've read that support for this is built in but needs to be enabled somehow? Does anybody have an idea of how to do this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694667 Title: Battery Indicator does not work in Netbook -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
