I just upgraded to a new MacBook Air and I noticed that it will only show the percentage of battery remaining instead of a time retaining. Are there any good apps that will show the amount of time remaining for the battery on the top of my screen? Something that will be a good way to keep track of my battery health.

Also, I do realize that it isn't always accurate but its convenient. Thanks!
 
Do you mean that you'd like to see the remaining time without having to click on the battery icon?

Otherwise it should still show up in the drop down menu when clicking.

Looks like this feature was somehow removed in Mavericks?

In the meantime, this free app should help you out:
