No battery information, though 1 battery is detected below.

-1 means unknown or unavailable.

That's either 'critical discharging', or 'critical charging' (normally, 
but it seems all the battery information is wrong and/or missing here)

Even AC online/offline status is unknown.  Does the machine operate 
properly on battery, if you remove AC power?

Absolute zero :)  Did it used to show the proper temperatures on 8.0?

Please post your /var/run/dmesg.boot
