I keep forgetting the option-battery icon click, which your image illustrated. I think I keep forgetting to use it because I have become accustomed to using iStat, instead. In its Battery section, iStat reports number of cycles on the battery, its health, percent charged, and time remaining. The thing I like best about iStat is that it shows both percent charged and time remaining, regardless of which has been selected to be displayed next to the battery icon.
I understood what you were saying. The option-battery icon click does, indeed, simultaneously provide both time remaining and percent remaining. My point was that I simply got used to using the iStat widget instead of the option-battery icon method. In my earlier post I was talking about what appears next to the battery icon on the menu bar before the battery icon is clicked. It is going to be either time remaining or percent remaining, depending on what you have set it up to show there. Fortunately, there are at least two ways to quickly and easily see both simultaneously.
Same, mine was red (8%) when I put it to sleep. Charged it to 100%, and it was red when it woke up.
I've had the same experience as Phrogz. The battery is red upon waking from sleep precisely when it was put to sleep with under 25% battery (in the red) then charged. Normal battery status ... nothing to worry about.
