The behaviour of the battery indicator is different in KDE4 and in TDE.
On KDE4, you can right-click on the notification area to choose what it to
be shown, but on TDE, these programs has to be started seperately.
If I remember well, kpowersave (or tdepowersave) has the same behaviour as
kmix.
To see it the first time, it has to be started from the K menu, then it
should show up in the notification area.
After that, it should be there at the following reboots.
Tell us if it works for you!

Thank you! All I had to do was quit kpowersave, then restart it from
the menu. Now the icon shows plugged in or on battery. Sometime when
the battery level is down I will see if that is reflected in the icon.
