These were all zero because you were plugged in, as you showed the values
were showed when you were unplugged.

This is explained by the fact that you run ACPI. Afaik it's either ACPI or
APM that your laptop has. Yours has ACPI.

The reason that you can still use the 'apm' command is that the ACPI
driver 'emulates' the behaviour of /dev/apm, but the information is not
actually coming from apm.
(Can you remove device apm from your kernel to ack this?)

What laptop do you have btw?

And how is the suspending/resuming working?
