Supply is the boolean attribute that means if the device is supplying
the power for the computer. For instance, an AC adapter or Laptop
battery would be supply TRUE,  but a mobile phone or mouse s taking
power and thus supply FALSE

Present is whether the device is currently attached to the computer,
as some devices (e.g. laptop batteries) can be removed, but still
observed as devices on the system

Refreshed is when the device was last updated with new data. It's
usually a few seconds when a device is discharging.

Charge accuracy is how accurately UPower can predict the time
remaining of the battery. The more times you cycle the battery, the
better UPower gets at guessing.

Done (and added as translator comments in the source) -- Thanks for what you do.
