19.04 Battery Indicator. Thinks my PC is a Laptop?

[unicav]

Fresh install of 19.04, immediately noticed a battery indicator on my top bar.
It's a VM Host. No idea why it thinks it's a laptop.
Haven't been able to find any way to remove it or disable that so far.

It is harmless, so don't bother touching it. I have one on my big desktop box too. It is reporting the UPS that is plugged into my box. Apparently, the detection of anything remotely resembling a battery source (even a pseudo source) is treated as a battery. In general, I've found that it is better to leave the system in its default state rather than tinker with it. You increase the possibility of upgrade failure at the next network upgrade otherwise.

You may be able to open Tweaks, then select Top bar and turn off the setting for it there.

Ahh that makes sense. It's seeing the UPS attached to the VMWare server. OK I can live with that
