The panel plugin for xfce4-power-manager 1.6.0 has no option to disable the time until charged. Because the BIOS of my laptop never allows charging to reach 100% to extend battery life, this quickly leads to crazy numbers being displayed (it is currently telling me it will take 1758 hours to charge, when in reality it will never be 100% charged).

I dont expect the calculation can be fixed for the small number of people who have non-standard BIOS level battery charging algorithms, but it would be nice to be able to not show the incorrect number.

This was not an issue in 1.4.x, which did not show estimated charge times in the panel.

You actually *can* disable the label completely or just have it show the percentage in the plugin's settings.
