> Devices that report a wrong time remaining need to be blacklisted,
just like any other misbehaving hardware device.

Even if this means most devices will need to be blacklisted? Wouldn't it
require an extreme amount of effort to start blacklisting every mouse
that doesn't work with this feature?

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.
