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

Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  indicator-power 12.10.6+14.10.20141015-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 14.10

  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.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#Icon>: "If it is discharging, the icon
  interior should be filled from left to right approximately as much as
  the remaining charge. If it has less than 30 minutes left on a PC, or
  less than 20% left on a phone or tablet, the fill should be red rather
  than monochrome."
