I have 7.0 plus. I used UOT Kitchen, which worked but images were too small. had to find a custom set with larger batteries and copy them over. It worked, now shows % in system panel pop up as well.

If you don't mind having an extra icon in your status bar, download Battery Circle from the Market. Of course once we have custom ROM's you won't need this anymore, but for the moment, it's the next best thing.

All battery PNGs are in "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi" and are named as "stat_sys_battery_XX.png" and "stat_sys_battery_charge_animXX.png"

from my previous experience in modding framework-res and systemUI the procedure will be like that:
- mod via UOTkitchen the 2 files (with 100 set of icons - incl. charging)
- edit resultant apk's by replacing PNGs with the new desired ones (check also attached zip) - must be 32X32 pixels (should be resized and orientated)
- make a flash-able zip.
- apply in CWM.

Could work, depends on UOT :).

I'll try to find another icons set; pngs from attachment were used in HTC Desire S and are horizontally oriented (phone); maybe in other forums I'll find some tablet-specific icons.
tablet icon would be great, seems all UOT battery icons are 38x38
