xfce4-power-manager is confused/confusing

[Johannes Lips]

Hi all,

Although, I am not a native speaker and also not so much into the 
technical details, I find this wording of "waiting to discharge/charge" 
a bit confusing.
Can someone perhaps explain how this is technically possible or 
implemented here? What does this waiting mean here? How is it possible 
that both batteries are waiting to discharge or charge without an 
external power connection?

I think there already was another user asking this. [1]


Thanks
Johannes
