Hi,

I am not sure whether distributions with their custom layout.js picked that up (I'm not even sure if I changed that in our default layout) but battery monitor is supposed to be added to the panel regardless since 4.11. It provides the handy PM switch and shows peripheral device batteries too.

However, battery monitor goes passive when:
- The AC is plugged in and the battery is fully charged (since 4.8 or so already)
- There are no power supply batteries (desktop case, if you want to have it present nonetheless you can force it active)

Cheers,
Kai Uwe
