Currently, it shows a tiny line of text above the front cover image when charging is required. This is almost pointless as it is not noticeable.

A more helpful solution would be, at its simplest, just drop the front cover entirely when battery is <=10% and put "CHARGE ME" across the screen in as big a font as will fit, or for a prettier approach cut out the middle of the cover image to insert this message, again as large as possible.

Thanks!
That's not actually a workable idea. If you have a sleep cover, when you open the cover, the notice would go away without you seeing it. What you can do is keep with you a backup battery and a microUSB cable to charge your H2O while you are out and about. I use a backup battery with a miroUSB cable and the cable has an adapter to allow me to charge my ipHone. So I onlt need one cable with me to charge my iPhone, H2O, or music player.
