KDE Guidance Power Manager shows 0% battery charge


Hi all. Running Slackware 13.1 with KDE 4.4.3, clean install, on a Lenovo Thinkpad SL510. Guidance Power Manager shows a constant 0% battery charge, with and without the adapter plugged in. It recognizes when the adapter is in and out, but won't read the battery state. Any ideas?

I don't think this is a KDE problem:
