I think they should be synchronized or there should be a menu for what is
showing in the menu and one for what is showing on the icon.

<smile> Differ all you like, but this is not a bug. When you set
percentage, VO speaks the time, because the percentage is what is
showing up visually for the icon and the time is shown in the menu.
Then, when you set it to show time, VO will speak the percentage,
which shows up in the menu while the time is displayed for the battery
icon.
VO is speaking what appears in the menus and not the visually
displayed info with the icon itself. Feel free to get visual
assistance to verify this if you like…
You may feel that this behavior is inappropriate but that's not the
same as a bug, yes?…
Have a great night!…
Smiles,
Cara :)
