Hi Vicenzo,

I noticed this while testing as well. I delved in to the code to 
investigate.

What is happening is that the left-click menu is showing the percentage
reported by the battery via hal. The tooltip is showing a value that is
averaged, somehow based on the past performance of the battery. The two
values converged for me after a few minutes.

I agree that it's confusing, but it seems to be intentional behaviour,
and not critical for the release. Discussing the issue with upstream
is probably a better way to deal with this.

Thanks,

James
