TDEPowersave always reports running on AC power, even when running on the
battery, and doesn't give the low battery warnings. This started when I
upgraded to R14; it worked fine in 13.2. It's a big problem because, when
runing on battery, the machine just dies with no warning when the battery is
dead.
This is on an HP laptop running Debian 7 (Wheezy) and R14 from Slavek's
repo, updated this morning.

Does TDE detect your battery (see TDE Control
Center-->Peripherals-->Hardware Device Manager)? Let me know if you see a
battery device; if you do please double-click on it and send a screenshot
of the popup dialog along with your response.
Thanks!

Well that explains the glitch; TDE isn't aware of your AC adapter because
it miscategorized it as a battery! Without being aware of your AC adapter
TDE doesn't know whether your computer is plugged in or not and assumes it
is as a result.
Let me see if I can spot anything obviously wrong from the screenshots. I
may have to have you run some udev analysis commands later on today or
tomorrow.
Thanks!

This should be fixed in GIT hash 066f317 (tdelibs); once the nightly
builds contain this fix please test and confirm.
Thanks!

FWIW, TDEPowersave shows both AC and batteries with no problems. I'm
running an install from exegnu-jessv-20141125 on a recent ThinkPad.
TDEPowersave autostarts and its icon is in the taskbar.
