Yeah, as a random viewer, I really only need to know that the power is running out when the last bit of charge is nearly used up, at like 5% maybe.
I have no concept of whether even 10% means another hour or another year, and since it's load dependent, neither do they. If the power is at 75%, what do I care?
It really belongs on a status page, and as a banner, pinned to the top of the page. If anything, it motivates random people to slam the page with more hits, just so they can watch the meter move.
That was my second impression, once I realized what it was. I wanted to watch for a chnage. My first impression was that the styles were defective, it was a scripting error (until I read that extra fluff was eschewed) or whatever, but I just wanted to find a way to make it get out of the way, so I could read without the distraction, so I started looking for "dismiss" icons, to close a broken pop-up.
Then I noticed the Sun icon and the percentage, and realized it was a meter.
