[SOLVED]Remaining Batter time gone after Xfce 4.8 update

I opened this thread in the DE section because I think it's related to the recent XFCE Update.
I've updated my system. It included the XFCE 4.8 updates. After the update process it already noticed some changes to XFCE so I rebooted. After that I noticed that the applet for the remaining battery time does not show the time anymore. Just the status (like 60%). The remaining time is always 00:00 if I enable it. I already tried removing and adding the applet.

Before the update the time was shown correctly. I included the pacman.log from the update. If I type acpi in my terminal it gives

$ acpi
Battery 0: Discharging, 52%, discharging at zero rate - will never fully discharge.

Edit:
I found this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109318
When I enter acpi -p instead of acpi -b the time is shown. How can I make the applet now displaying the remaining time?

Edit2
An update of the battery applett fixed it
