Battery Time in Menu Bar

[LastLine]

Little thing - I can't see any way to get the battery time appearing next to my battery like I used to in Lion, anyone got any ideas? I can only get the percentage on the menu bar, with time in the drop down.


Thoughts?

They got rid of it.

I use iStat Menus anyway, and I'm sure there's a free app that'll do the same.

It's really annoying that Apple removed this option.

Shame on you, Apple.

How is iStat Menus running in ML? I think the battery estimate was a tad off for me when I got my new MacBook Air 2012.

I dont understand why they would even think 'This feature has to be removed!'

Running fine, no issues.

This is already being discussed in several threads:

RMBP Battery %?
Battery Status
Battery - Show Time no longer available​

From the CHECKING STATUS AND HEALTH section of the following link:

On the MBPR and on ML, the Menu Bar battery indicator no longer offers "Time Remaining" as an option on the Menu Bar. It still appears in the dropdown menu.

From the BATTERY LIFE FROM A CHARGE section of the following link:

• Your "time remaining" indication is an ever-changing estimate, based on the current workload of your system. It will fluctuate up and down from minute to minute as your power demands change. It is not perfectly accurate, but only an estimate.

This should answer most, if not all, of your battery/charging questions:

Yeah, it sucks. There's no reason they had to remove it. 🙁
