| 66 | How about "Remaining power" ? | |

| 66 | With "power" I would associate the consumption. What about "Remaining energy"? | |

| 66 | That's fine too, but in this context, the words "power" and "energy" mean pretty much the same things in English, and you can always add a note for translators using i18nc() | |

FYI, in Russian we translate this as "Current charge" ("Текущий заряд"), where "заряд/charge" might also be confused with electic charge measured in coulomb or statC, but
- the user-visible unit Wh disambiguates,
- I believe, most people forget about coulombs soon after they graduate high school, and then they commonly interpret "заряд/charge" as the level of charge of a battery.

Fix ambiguous "Current" label in energy information
Replace the label text with "Remaining energy", to prevent confusion with electric current.

After some thinking, I have come to the conclusion that "Remaining energy" is probably the best variant, as it is both correct and non-ambiguous. When talking about the charge of a battery, usually one thinks of a percentage.
