Same issue here, once the battery drops below 30% it's shown as red, but there's still plenty of time left (1:32 when I took the attached screenshot) If the color really has to change at 29%, I'd be OK if the indicator was yellow, but I'm just fine with the normal white one. Rred is just not reasonable.
The Android phones I've had start warning about low battery at 15%, that seems fine to me. ** Attachment added: "Red battery indicator 29pc.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-power/+bug/1410495/+attachment/4315482/+files/Red%20battery%20indicator%2029pc.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-power in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1410495 Title: Battery indicator goes Critical Red with more than 1 hour battery left Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On my current laptop, the battery indicator shows a red-with-a-little- left icon when there is more than an hour left in the battery, which is not really appropriate for a "critical battery warning". This bug is probably a regression of #743823, and I was asked to create a new bug by @mpt: > Christoph, yes, please report a new bug including a screenshot. On phones we may have to color by percentage, but on PCs we can and should color by time remaining to avoid false alarms. A screenshot is attached. Unfortunately I didn't realize at the time that the screenshotter does not record open menus, so you'll have to take my word that the time remaining in the indicator menu was at > 1 hour. I can redo the screenshot, if necessary. fwiw, the transition levels (based on minutes left) proposed in the bug description of #743823 sound good to me.
