It should already refresh after resume. What hal version do you have?
You might also need a recent kernel patch on some hardware.
If battery state does not "correct itself", then this might be a
kpowersave problem. Do you still get events from "lshal -m" after
resume?

I'm not sure you should restart hal at resume, that caused a few
problems with gnome-power-manager and HAL.
