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.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#Icon>: "If it is discharging, the icon interior should be filled from left to right approximately as much as the remaining charge. If it has less than 30 minutes left on a PC, or less than 20% left on a phone or tablet, the fill should be red rather than monochrome." |
