I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person to suggest this on the forum and I know that Brian from Workshop Addict suggested this, but I have an idea that's... well, somewhat EGO themed. For full, let the battery button shine green, for 80%, it be green-blue, for 60%, it be blue, for 40% it be blue-red, for 20%, it be red, and we all know what it does when it is out. Also, instead of a storage mode button that I have suggested in the past, press the power button five times in rapid succession (or hold for five seconds or something that isn't prone to accidents) to make the pack go into storage mode and retain the 30 day auto-storage system for people who do not use the manual storage. This will eliminate the need for a modification to the battery shells, just one for the circuit boards.
I have suggested the manual storage before, but this is a new iteration of that idea that might e more feasible.

I have suggested before that Ego could implement this power meter change without any hardware upgrades by simply using the same tricolor LED in the power button that they currently have:
Green = 70% or more
Orange = 40-70%
Red = 15-40%
Slow blinking Red = Less than 15%
Fast blinking Red = Dead
Just program it to do so.

I believe blinking orange/yellow suggests that temperature is too high. The only thing that concerns me here is that people might confuse the orange with too hot instead of 40-70% power even though it is constant orange, not blinking orange, but I think they could get used to it easily enough. I think I'd actually do it your way. Besides, EGO really isn't blue.
