This has been fixed by the following commit on current master branch,
which makes 'M-x battery' list all batteries no matter what they're
named:

commit 6b38e34a11a85d50fa384b90ed21ea60d6d646d5
Author: Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi <at> gnus.org>
Date:   Fri Aug 23 02:40:26 2019 +0200
    Have `M-x battery' list all batteries under GNU/Linux

I'm therefore closing this bug report.  If you could please verify that
the fix works for you and report back, that would be even better.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

It seems that battery-linux-sysfs does not support certain laptop
batteries which are not classified as BAT0, but by BATX instead. I had
to add this to my .emacs to get display-battery-mode working properly:

(eval-after-load 'battery
  '(progn
     (setq battery--linux-sysfs-regexp "[bB][aA][tT][xX]$")
     (setq battery-status-function 'battery-linux-sysfs
      battery-echo-area-format "Power %L, battery %B (%p%% charged, remaining time %t)"
      battery-mode-line-format " [%p%%] ")))
(display-battery-mode 1)

Hope this helps, and thanks for all your hard work.
