Windows is finally getting smart about battery icons

Microsoft is testing a way for you to quickly see how much battery your laptop has left.

The new iconography is pretty self-explanatory: Green signals a laptop with plenty of battery life left.

Yellow means that you’re running low on power, and that (in this build) your laptop is running in its low-power, battery-saver mode.

Microsoft plans to add these indicators to the lock screen in a future Windows build.
