Several days in and the indicator-applet battery menu still shows, on left-click menu:

  [===]
  * Laptop battery (estimating...)
  * Preferences

and in on right-click->About:

  Indicator 0.4.6

Brand new laptop install. I think the secret here is that the battery has not yet been discharged to zero/near zero /whilst the computer has been turned on and able to take samples.

Ideally whilst the battery *time* is being estimated, the reported percentage should just be shown (the percentage is already used to drive the icon...).
