Hehehe, I doubt you're crazy, I said I'm fishing. I can try it on my testing
laptop by tomorrow. That the acpi command still works is a hint that
/proc/acpi/battery still exists and the battery-monitor uses a different method
to read out information.
But, glancing over the code, the battery-monitor uses a libacpi.c file reading
from hard-coded /proc/acpi/...  directory. Can you see if you still have a
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 directory and post the output of cat
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/* please?
