Time remaining on Mountain Lion battery

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!

I just filed a complaint here:

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! 🙂
