Title:
  Battery powered keyboard gives invalid laptop detection

Status in laptop-detect package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  laptop-mode will assume the system is a laptop if any battery is
  found.

  I am running a desktop PC with a bluetooth battery powered Logitech
  K810 keyboard.

  $ cat /sys/class/bluetooth/hci0:64/address 
  00:1f:20:91:df:35
  $ ls /sys/class/power_supply 
  hid-00:1f:20:91:df:35-battery
  $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/hid-00:1f:20:91:df:35-battery/type
  Battery
  $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/hid-00:1f:20:91:df:35-battery/scope
  Device

  The following laptop-detect code will assume the keyboard battery is
  an ACPI battery:

  # check for any ACPI batteries
  /sbin/modprobe battery 2> /dev/null || true
  if [ -d /sys/class/power_supply ]; then
      for i in "`ls /sys/class/power_supply/*/ 2>/dev/null | grep -v hid`"; do
              if grep -q Battery $i/type 2>/dev/null; then
              $PRINTIT "We're a laptop (ACPI batteries found)" >&2
              exit 0
  	fi
      done
  fi

  Suggestion: filtering out /sys/class/power_supply/hid* before checking
  battery type, or filter out scope = Device
