The Ubuntu Wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#settings seems to say that if the mouse battery is low, then it gets the battery indicator. In my opinion, this is fundamentally incorrect behaviour.
If the PC has a battery then it is likely to be a laptop and therefore it's more important to display the laptop battery level instead of the mouse battery.
I care if my laptop battery is about to go flat. I don't care at all if my mouse battery is only at 29% because my mouse will probably continue to work for many weeks whereas my laptop only works for a couple of hours from 100%.
It would be better if there was a way to choose which battery level to display or have a way to completely ignore mouse battery readings.
