--- Comment #4 from Bob <bobfun...@gmail.com> ---
I updated to the latest plasma release and can still trigger this battery
applet bug after enough login/logout cycles.

Here's the "About" copy paste, for the record:
Operating System: Slackware Live 15.0
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.1.12 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz
Memory: 7.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 520
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: XPS 13 9350

The bug is the same: A random chance that upon login, the battery applet thinks
there's no battery and only shows the icon and controls for screen
brightness/keyboard brightness instead.

The tooltip over the "battery applet" in this state reports "No Batteries
Available". This would seem that batterymonitor thinks there's no batteries,
even though UPower reports 'IsPresent' as true, along with solid-hardware5
reporting "Battery.present = true (bool)" when looking at the details of my
battery. 

Somehow there is a very small chance the applet gets the wrong information at
session startup and stays that way until plasmashell is restarted. Seems like a
timing issue but I dont understand enough about how the applet gets its data to
make a proper guess.

If there's anything else I can supply please let me know. Everything seems to
report a present and functional battery except the applet. Upower and soild
reports arn't anything to look at because they report a present battery and
charge status as normal.
