With the Windows taskbar on the side, BatteryBar is too big.
I have a widescreen and I put my Windows Taskbar on the side instead of at the bottom so my QuickLaunch bar can also be vertical instead of horizontal. BatteryBar does not shrink to a small-icon size while in this mode so it takes up too much space on the taskbar. Please consider this configuration in the next update.
It would work if I rotated the bar 90 degrees, as was suggested. I’ll look into it.

Having an option that will allow the icon to resize when the taskbar starts filling and returning to the original size when the taskbar is clear.

I'd love to have you post a screenshot. If you can't do it here, then you can do it on the support forum at http://osirisdevelopment.com/forum.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say, so chime in often if you have a pet issue you want resolved.

I also came here to report this bug, but it seems the party is so long over that the lease on the building expired and it's now being converted to a Starbuck's. I even had a compelling screen capture and everything. Over three physical inches tall! This is what I would consider a show-stopper, if it were my code; okay, it's not and I still consider it a show-stopper.

I also think the battery bar is too big but only because I have a double height taskbar on XP and would also like a rotated battery.

meantime change 90° rotation you can optimize the size and display by modifying
the file
C:\Program Files\BatteryBar\Themes\Win7Bar\theme.xml
(if you are using win7bar theme) else change the theme.xml of your current theme.
for example by changing these values
<Margin>0,0,0,0</Margin>
to set the display as you like and more smaller
example
<Margin>13,0,13,0</Margin>
