From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can’t.
The laptop talks to the battery and the software you’re using tries to talk to the laptop to see what the battery says. What’s your laptop make and model, battery make and model and did you check the bios for battery configuration?
It's a Lenovo S540-15IWL, with the MX250 dGPU. I've tried checking the BIOS, and there seems to be no setting for the battery in the BIOS.
Okay, clear the old upower data stored in your computers /var/lib/upower/ directory with rm /var/lib/upower/* then restart the upower service or just restart your computer.
