I just checked out the source for that program, it seems it looks at
dmidecode for some of the detection, 1) it would have to be run as
root and 2) it doesn't check "Laptop" or "Sub Notebook" only
"Portable" and "Notebook"; (I have 500 dmidecode results to check the
stats on) so I'm not even sure how accurate it would be just based on
batteries. (I assume if you remove the battery the check with fail as
in the comments to laptop-detect)
