How strange. What do you call it then? It's for alternating current,
as opposed to the direct current like you get in batteries. Would 
"the mains electricity supply" make sense, or how about "the socket 
in the wall"? :)

Oh -- one bug I am tempted to suggest you add:

If you use the battery charge applet on a "normal" (non-laptop) computer,
it starts and produces a warning dialogue that the battery is low. I suppose
no battery does lead to 0% (what the picture shows) and thus a low reading
but I do find it a bit weird. :)

I dunno, I suppose most people don't add battery applets when they don't
have a battery :)
