I agree with Jochen and his followers, the whole idea and the dealing
with it seems a little bit too sophisticated. Let's make it simple, for
me, after the discussion, the philosophy is clear, and I clearly
disagree, but to most users that obviously did not read this bug report
or the wiki, the behaviour is just STRANGE and unsatisfying...But if you
would want to change it like for example the boot order, you should be
able to do so. The default case SHOULD BE THE BATTERY of the laptop, so
the main interesting thing that should always be in focus.

Suggestion for the future:
Better you could add colours to the icon to show if it is loosing of its capacitance over the time  :-)...., like red for only half of the capacitance, or a coloir, when you should really discharge/charge to extend batteries life of the laptop. That ALL wouldn't be as annoying for the normal user like the solution you find for it now... and I am sure of it. 

Please rethink this behaviour, it doesn't make the world a better
place...

Title:
  Mouse with no time remaining estimate showing in preference to battery
  being charged

Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When my laptop battery is in a charging state, but is not fully
  charged, I expect it to be displayed in preference to my mouse, which
  has no time remaining estimate.

  The spec here:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power

  says:

  "If anything is discharging, the menu title should represent the
  component (not battery, but component) that is estimated to lose power
  first. For example, if your notebook battery is estimated to discharge
  in 1 hour 47 minutes, and your wireless mouse battery is estimated to
  discharge in 27 minutes, the menu title should represent the mouse. "

  but there doesn't seem to be any guideline to what happens when a
  battery is being charged.

  I suggest the time remaining to charge a battery should be displayed
  in preference to the power level in a wireless mouse.
