But the point here is that the values are indeed known and they already
assume sane values. Setting values to -1 sounds sketchy to me.

To go into depth: the battery is fully charged and we're running on
mains means no electricity are flowing from the battery to the computer.
Hence, the "current" is 0. Same with rate. For remaining time you can
make a similar argument, there is simply zero seconds until the battery
is charged, simple because the battery is already charged =).

Cheers,
David
