"How to upload them back to ML? :) They do not seem to work while on battery power "! - I wrote my colleague yesterday on Twitter. Indeed, the new OS X 10.8 next to only charge a percentage, you can bring the battery icon in the menu.
Perhaps the developers felt that this function too often irritates his inaccurate forecast time remaining - any running process can start quickly eat it (especially if it is a process to letter F ...). However, the aid of third-party applications, a short list which we bring to your attention.
1.Battery Time (Free)
Extremely simple app that displays the time indicator, nothing more. Play a bit with the icons in the main menu, you can restore some semblance of the old bunch of "battery + time." That's all that can be said about Battery Time, Except to add that the application still has the status of Beta.
2.SlimBatteryMonitor (free)
But this interesting application. The developer declares it as a full replacement battery indicator OS X, which is able to monitor the laptop battery, and the plurality of uninterruptible power supplies. In an application running in the menu it looks quite attractive and much more compact system indicator.
You can configure additional color display battery status in the settings.
Unfortunately, the app SlimBatteryMonitor has not been updated since 2009, but it is working in an environment OS X 10.8 are not affected.
3.Watts ($ 6,95)
We need a function to display the time in Watts is more of a side character. The main purpose of the application - monitoring the physical condition of the battery and periodic reminder to conduct its calibration in order to achieve the claimed manufacturer number of charge cycles and extend the battery life as much as possible longer. The application can be download in the Mac App Store.
4.iStat Menus ($ 16)
Most heaped application in this list. a long time we have wrote about iStats Menus. This processor that can display not only detailed information on the charge Bater, but also information about the CPU, disk, memory, network. Despite the fact that the price tag it is also quite decent, this is probably the best choice for fans of statistics iron apple devices.
If the idea is to use a third-party application to a native system function you do not like, it remains to hope that Apple still return this feature in future updates. I hope this is reinforced by the fact that the general dissatisfaction of users around the results in numerous petitions that since the release of Apple tehpoderzhku they throw.
And what is your opinion? Do you think that Apple did the right thing by removing the display of the time remaining in OS X Mountain Lion, or not? application or their analogues if you use the listed? Welcome in the comments!
