Further I quite agree with the common comments made below.
And I wonder if you should just axe the percent. What people want to know is how much time is left till empty/charged. The percent is pretty meaningless.
I want to know percents too, because time depends on what I am doing now and what I will be doing. Gaming drains battery a LOT faster than standby.
One feature I'd love to see would be smarter battery life estimation. Ever unplug a laptop, then click the battery icon and see that it'll last for nine hours? Then you wait for five minutes and check again, it's 4.5 hours? I know for a fact that my laptop's battery lasts 2.5 hours, and if the indicator would simply remember how long the battery typically lasted, the estimations would stop being so useless.
Also, how about different power modes? Power Saver, Normal, Performance? Power saver might have a lower screen brightness, lower cpu scaling and less idle time before the screen turns off. Normal would be... normal. Performance might have higher cpu scaling. There are a number of power saving and performance increasing options that are usually only accessible via the command line, it'd be nice to have a graphical interface for them.
Then again, this might be feature creep.
tl;dr I love it.
