stupid question but are you playing it on a laptop? some other threads on google say it's just a featre of crysis to let you know how much laptop battery you have left
I have a APC Backups that my PC is plugged into. That's what was causing this. I had to disable the UPS battery in device manager similar to what is said below. Mine was a little different. I have something call HID UPS Battery which is the Vista default driver I guess. I should install APC's drivers and see if I still see the icon without disabling it.

So I finally found a solution to this!!!! No disabling the wifi or removing the battery!!
After a long day of going through all of windows I found out what was really causing the problem.
And yes I know these steps are very basic but I wanted to help people who are not as computer oriented as well.
Step 1(wifi)
Go to "control panel" ->click "system"->click the "hardware" tab-> click "device manager"-> now scroll down until you see "network adapters" and expand->find the wifi adapter and right click, it should say something like " intel wireless wifi link 5300"(thats mine)->after right clicking go to properties->next go to the "power management tab"-> uncheck any options that are checked.
That takes care of the wifi aspect of the problem.
Step2(battery)
While you still have the device manager open find where its says "batteries" and expand->there should be 2 options to choose from, click that says something to the effect of battery control method. In most cases it will be this "microsoft ACPI-Compliant control battery method"->Right click it and go to "properties" -> Under the "General Tab" go to the bottom and "disable" the device
Thats it!! The only downfall to this is when disabling the battery control method you will lose the icon which tells you how much battery remains. This can be easily enabled after playing crysis if you want, but it is not necessary. You will still get the warning when you have less than 7% left (in my case) so you will have plenty of time to plug in.
This is the perfect solution until/if crytek ever makes this feature optional. You will still have your battery, incase of an accidental tripping over the cord or the power goes out. And you will also be able to still be connected to the internet
With winrar:
gamedata.pak\Libs\UI
HUD_Battery.gfx
if you dont play online then you can replace this file with empty file. This will disable the battery status display.
