Emilien, the 30% red is handled separately in bug #1388235. That ticket
doesn't doesn't directly address mpt's discussion of coloring by
percentage on phone but by time on desktop, but it may ameliorate the
worst examples of this bug by improving the icons' granularity.

To color by time, we might ultimately need red and nonred versions of
each discharging icon.

Title:
  Battery indicator goes Critical Red with more than 1 hour battery left

Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
