Public bug reported: I did a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04.1 on an asus x556uak laptop and noticed that when connected to AC and the battery is not charging the system shows the battery icon as discharging , but when the battery has discharged a little and when connected again it charges, then system shows the battery icon as connected to AC and charging.
Also I've noticed that all though I have 2 38 Whr cells ubuntu is only detecting one 38 Whr cell, as if the second one doesn't exist? But maybe this is not a bug and it switches to secondary battery when the 1st one is empty?
