mr.Shu 3dd71c61da fix: Make dbus battery status consistent
* In #1499 a change was introduced that made use of the "Discharging"
  status of a battery in order to detect whether the AC power is
  available.

  The DBus part of the function that gets this data, however, stayed
  unchanged. In order to keep it consistent this commit changes it in
  such a way that it preforms the same function as the code introduced
  in #1499 by checking for the Discharging state of the battery as
  described here:

Features
--------

* **Extensible and feature rich, written in Python.** Powerline was 
  completely rewritten in Python to get rid of as much vimscript as 
  possible. This has allowed much better extensibility, leaner and better 
  config files, and a structured, object-oriented codebase with no mandatory
  third-party dependencies other than a Python interpreter.
* **Stable and testable code base.** Using Python has allowed unit testing 
  of all the project code. The code is tested to work in Python 2.6+ and 
  Python 3.
* **Support for prompts and statuslines in many applications.** Originally 
  created exclusively for vim statuslines, the project has evolved to 
  provide statuslines in tmux and several WMs, and prompts for shells like 
  bash/zsh and other applications. Its simple to write renderers for any 
  other applications that Powerline doesnt yet support.
* **Configuration and colorschemes written in JSON.** JSON is 
  a standardized, simple and easy to use file format that allows for easy 
  user configuration across all of Powerlines supported applications.
* **Fast and lightweight, with daemon support for even better performance.**
  Although the code base spans a couple of thousand lines of code with no 
  goal of “less than X lines of code”, the main focus is on good performance 
  and as little code as possible while still providing a rich set of 
  features. The new daemon also ensures that only one Python instance is 
  launched for prompts and statuslines, which provides excellent 
  performance.

*But I hate Python / I dont need shell prompts / this is just too much 
hassle for me / what happened to the original vim-powerline project / …*

You should check out some of the Powerline derivatives. The most lightweight
and feature-rich alternative is currently Bailey Lings `vim-airline 
<https://github.com/bling/vim-airline>`_ project.
