Rephrasing statwrangler's idea a bit, how about having the charge percentage be the "speaker icon", then use the rest of the space for the graphical bar? Then we also don't have to worry about changing the text color like in the screenshot on the first post.

I agree on dropping the "Battery" text too.

Does anyone know if we can actually replace the stock battery status widget? It would be a shame (and a waste of a slot) if th original can't be replaced and we have to run two indicators.
