Most charge indicators report battery status as both a percentage and as the number of minutes of charge remaining:

●The percentage indicates the approximate amount of charge remaining in the battery.

●The time indicates the approximate running time remaining on the battery if the battery continues to provide power at the current level. For example, the time remaining will decrease when you start playing a DVD and will increase when you stop playing a DVD.

When a battery is charging, a lightning bolt icon may be superimposed over the battery icon on the Power Meter screen.
