Thanks, I am not entirely sure I understand your setting but I just
copied in my init file and restarted emacs.

However when I open say a LaTeX file, the battery display is sill at the
end of the modeline, and therefore not visible.

I am using a freshly compiled GNU emacs from master (date 25 of April
2021).
