   is always t even though now change was made because the standard- 
   value property is nil / not set. It should probably be (nil).

`display-battery-mode' is autoloaded.  This means that it is defined
with `defvar' in loaddefs.el.  The standard-value property remains nil
until the defcustom is evaluated, when it becomes (nil).

   It works fine for, e.g., `show-paren-mode'.

Then your .emacs must load paren.

`emacs -q', then:

nil

t

(nil)
