After updating your device with Android L upgrade, whenever you charge your device, you will be able to see how much time is remaining to achieve full battery life. The battery settings will also show you estimated remaining time on your Android device before you are required charge it again.

According to Android Police, when the power saving mode feature is activated, the colour of the status bar as well as navigation bar will change to orange. The orange bar stays there and remains visible even in apps.

Functions that are running in the background will get disabled and vibration will also get turned off. This will allow the battery to last longer
