Time remaining on Mountain Lion battery
On Mountain Lion, is there a way to have the menu bar show the time remaining as Lion used to? All it shows now is a battery percentage.

yea now everytime i hv to click on the battery icon to check how much battery stamina is left anf now it gets sucked up so quickly.
I don't have the solution, sorry.
But I just wanted to make this a more popular thread, and say what an annoyance it is.
An Icon, or a percentage has no real meaning. 45% battery. Well that's great, but will it last long enough for me to finish watching the film before plugging in?
I don't want to highlight to know the only useful information.
I am tired of the "Updates" taking the features I use away.
I too would like the battery time remaining option back...
Agreed completely. This is the first thing I noticed and it's driving me insane.
Totally agree and want to make this a super popular thread. Apple is always trying to go away from stats to avoid competition. Battery life might be a battle they may lose in the future, so they are changing the perception of battery.
Darn I was hoping someone would have an answer. I am looking for that as well. 😟
I'm adding my name to the list. I just updated my Lion MBP to ML today, and that's the first thing I noticed. Super annoying. As others have said, icons and percentages are worthless. Bring back the battery clock Apple!
I normally do not take part in discussion threats, but I feel so strong about this point that I'll make an exception. Also was the first thing I noticed, within 5 minutes of upgrading. So what if battery draines quicker with Mountain Lion, the battery indicater is not a marketing tool, its supposed to be functional. Please bring back battery clock Apple!
Apple needs to fix this tremendous oversight.

ISTAT will give this functionality - but it would be nice if built in.
Everyone SHOULD CLICK on "I have this question too" in the original post from imronburgundy!
Bring the TIME LEFT option BACK!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! 🙂
