This leads to a stacktrace as acpi_battery_get_property() returns 0 for a case where it does not set val->intval. These value is used as an array index in drivers/power/power_supply_sysfs.c::power_supply_show_property(). I had a situation where the value was 4096 which caused a problem as the array only has 5 entries.
