For the tooltip, I think yes. However there should be somewhere some details about each battery/accumulator. Maybe a click on the icon would show that level of details, or a "Details" entry in right click on icon ? If it really helps, I can send you some screenshots of the IBM power/battery manager for thinkpad. (but I have to boot in windoze for that). It is providing a lot of info about batteries. > > * Should there be a blank line between "System .." and the first "LiION"? For the tooltip, I thing there is no place for "LiION".
