In my MacBook Air (2012) I had this button to see the battery.
Now I got the latest MacBook Air (2014) but I can't find this button. Did they remove it?

Where is the battery indicator?

^^^^Actually that's not true. If you go to System Preferences > Energy Saver, look at the bottom left corner - You'll see a box you can check titled "Show Battery Status in Menu Bar". Check it. There's also third party utilities that accomplish this.

^^^^The question, as I understood it, was "Where is the battery indicator?"
Your Answer was "The battery indicator is no longer a feature on the Macbook Air."
The Battery Status Indicator is in fact a software feature. I showed the OP where to find it and answered his question.

The word "button" in the first post and the inability to locate it on the new Macbook Air, detonates that we are discussing the hardware externally accessible battery indicator. Apple has never referenced the ability to see the battery's charge via OS X as an "indicator", only as a "status". Apple's documentation on the battery indicator can be found here: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201842
Where is then, is the set of lights coupled with the button that activates them that displays the amount of charge left in the battery on the 2014 model Macbook Air?
I said I'm talking about a button, hard to activate a button via System Preferences..
As Intel said they just removed this button. Thanks for the info.
