HP notebooks usually have good ACPI battery related information. I have 
one HP Probook and there is no problem at all. I think FreeBSD can't do 
anything and the problem is only from the battery I think :-(

Battery are not really cheap so I bought a new one from honk-kong (not 
HP genuine but works well)
