Someone smart said:

  1 word = 1 millipicture

Why not include a graph where a human beeing is able to easy guess
the value. X axis is time, y axis is remaining battery level.
We may provide four curves:

1. The current energy usage graph to the current time*
2. The average energy usage graph (since recording)
3. The worst energy usage graph (since recording)
4. The best energy usage graph (since recording)

* nothing is interpolated

The computer don't have to lie, the human don't need to calculate,
the human only need to mentally interpolate the curve, supported
by the historical values.

Just an idea...
