I have similar problem with HP NX9005.
2-3 weeks ago rebuilt 5.4-STABLE and battery status went dead.
Have been waiting since if it was already known problem.
Yesterday built -CURRENT and same problem.

# sysctl hw.acpi.battery
  hw.acpi.battery.life:  -1
  hw.acpi.battery.time: -1
  hw.acpi.battery.state: 7
  hw.acpi.battery.units: 1
  hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5

I'll provide more information if needed.
