In FrameMaker, I’m used to setting up a graphics frame and placing more
than one graphic inside when I need to show several graphics left to
right. I can apparently do the same in DITA .xml without getting an
invalid file, but even with just two graphics and both of them set to
"placement=inline" the output to .pdf always renders the two images with
a line-feed between them.
I can well imagine it’s not a trivial task to place graphics right to
left, but could you just confirm I’m misunderstanding the placement
attribute? then I’ll know for certain I need to prepare special graphics
instead of reusing graphics I already have.
When an image is a direct child of a fig, its placement is necessarily
"break", whatever the value of attribute placement.
The reason for this is that a fig may not contain text and is really
meant to contain only "block elements" (the only exception being image).

In order to solve your problem, simply wrap your pair of images into a
paragraph, that is, replace:
---
<fig>
<title>Icon for black background (left) and white background
(right)</title>
<image href="../graphics/statusBar/bat_level_3_inv.svg"
placement="inline" scale="40"/>
<image href="../graphics/statusBar/bat_level_3.svg"
placement="inline"
scale="40"/>
</fig>
