Hi Daniel,

Pushed, thanks.  Note that this will only do the right thing if the
kernel supplies a combination of either (power, energy) or (current,
charge).  Otherwise the value for time remaining will be nonsensical.
I've no idea whether this can happen - from what I can tell, the
values made available depend on the particular hardware rather than
the kernel version.
