I suspect the name `display-battery-mode' was created to be similar to
`display-time-mode' which displays additional information in the mode
line as well. I suggest to create a valid alias `display-battery-mode'
for renamed `battery-mode' instead of declaring it obsolete
(i.e. to use `defalias' instead of `define-obsolete-function-alias').
Maybe, you also need to create a variable alias `display-battery-mode'
for `battery-mode' because `define-minor-mode' creates a global variable.
