I could add it to the expandable battery details but it will show the overall \
remaining time for all batteries in contrast to the other properties which are \
directly related to the battery they emerge from. Actually I don't care. I don't have \
a strong opinion on whether to show it or not.

Would that be an acceptable compromise for all?

What&#39;s missing:<br>
  - Remaining time. There is no &quot;global&quot; category anymore and since we \

usefulness, defaults and truthfulness of the value as too much has been said already. \
I will just say that many distributions and users are relying on this hidden feature, \
