At the same time there is interesting situation if user's computer has 2 
batteries. Battery applet has option "show icon for every battery". If 
user enables it then battery applet will show 2 very small batteries:

I thought that all icons in tray have to be the same size (i.e. to be
limited in size), but current C++ system tray doesn't fix size of icons
(plasmoids). For example, battery may be larger that other icons. It
looks very strange:
SysTray will look strange if battery applet shows percent
I assumed that all icons have to have the same size and I fixed their
size in QML implementation of system tray. So, my assumption causes
battery be smaller or be clipped:
Clipped battery plasmoid in system tray
What do you think about such behavior? I think if plasmoid have large
size then it should be placed on panel.

      Yes, I've set "clip" to on. But if I set "clip" to off, battery
      will look the same, because I set its maximum size (and minimum
      size otherwise networkmanager applet wont be visible). I set the
      maximum size because applets may want to be large then other
      icons:<br>
