Battery levels for vehicles like the tank or spidertron can only be checked by either driving the vehicle (remotely) or by navigating into the equipment grid and hovering over a battery.
I think it would be useful if the battery level was displayed when hovering over the vehicle.
Here's a quick mock up I've cobbled together
Or maybe a vertical bar on the side to not extend the height of the view any more

I kind of agree it would be quite useful. It is of similar importance to hit points and shield, yet it's hard to see at a glance. Another way to look at it, it's kind of like mana/magic points in fantasy games, which is often shown directly with the health bar.

Though, I'm not sure what exactly the best way to show it is. If nothing else, a number below the shield stat showing the battery level in a similar way would work.
