Battery error message on Carbon Dektop Install

Just installed Carbon on my desktop and all looking good apart from the occasional error message about the battery which the desktop doesn't have!

"WARNING: Your battery has reached critical status. You should plug in or
shutdown your computer now to avoid possible data loss."

Any idea what is triggering this false message?

The power manager plugin on the panel may be throwing a false error. You can remove that plugin. Or, the power manager may be reporting on your mouse battery. Open the power manager and check the devices tag.

Yes it is reporting the mouse battery at 55% I'll try a new battery later.

Re: Battery error message on Carbon Dektop Install

New Battery made no difference as it seems to report 55% regardless of actual.  Seems it is not getting the data. May have to remove applet.
