This is your health meter. 100 is your maximum "natural" health, and you won't automatically regenerate above this amount. The dimmed triangles in the second row indicate your potential health, which is acquired through items such as food and beverages. The maximum potential health is 200.

This is your energy meter. You start the game with two energy cells, but you can expand this to up to five energy cells. Your first energy cell will always regenerate, other cells will only regenerate if not fully depleted. Depleted cells are indicated by empty, red battery icons; full cells are green.
Jensen starts with two energy cells, which can be upgraded to a maximum of five energy cells with the Energy Level Upgrade augmentation. The regeneration process has a base delay of 10 seconds and will regenerate at a speed of 1 unit per second. One energy cell has 30 energy units. This can also be increased with augmentations; the Recharge Rate Upgrades take care of this.
