Nice feature. And at this point i have dilemma, i stopped os x updates after Apple decided to remove remaining battery time. I like f.lux idea, but sometimes have some problems with it, so i would like to test Night Shift. Hope remaining time will return with future update
- scrapcode 10y agoDo you have any reasons other than having a somewhat decent idea of how much time you have left? Battery power doesn't work on a time basis as power expenditure isn't consistent.
- Filligree 10y agoMy power expenditure is consistent: Most of the time when I'm on battery I'm typing in Scrivener, which leaves CPU use a flat 0%. (Presuming I've remembered to SIGSTOP Chrome.) The battery life indicator was reliably accurate. I miss it.

- hueving 10y ago>Battery power doesn't work on a time basis as power expenditure isn't consistent It can be quite consistent if you do very simple things (CPU-wise). SSH-ing into servers and working on them all day is pretty consistent in battery life on my MBP.
- jvzr 10y agoiStat Menus and CoconutBattery (to cite two options respectively paid and free) both provide menu bar indicators of remaining time. I've found iStat Menus' very consistent.
