I also agree with these comments and this problem affects me.  I
constantly use a wireless mouse on my laptop, so essentially I can never
see my laptop battery charge without either unplugging my mouse or
having to click on the mouse icon on the top.  This makes no sense-
especially because my mouse charge lasts practically *forever* (going on
like 1 year with the same batteries), so why would I care what the
charge is 99.999999% of the time.  Laptop charge should be shown all the
time as default, and if you want to add options for looking at other
charges fine, but laptop charge should take precedence since that's what
99% of users would prefer by my guess.

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.
