Now that battery--upower-subscribe registers to signals from
DisplayDevice (bug#80229), it is possible to react to more than just
State changes, including Percentage and IsPresent (although the
latter may already be covered by the DeviceAdded and DeviceRemoved
signals).
That means that it should be possible to disable polling via
battery-update-timer and still get timely mode line updates.
