The latest macOS update, 10.10.2, has an interesting “feature.” Click the battery icon and you’ll notice that the “Time Remaining” estimate is completely gone. Even worse, there’s no option anywhere to bring it back.

最新的macOS更新10.10.2具有有趣的“功能”。 单击电池图标，您会注意到“剩余时间”估算完全消失了。 更糟糕的是，没有任何地方可以恢复它。

Apple, for their part, claims the estimates were never accurate, and were prompting inaccurate complaints about poor battery life. Critics say Apple is just trying to obscure actually poor battery life.

苹果方面则声称估算值永远不准确，并引发了有关电池寿命不足的不正确投诉。 批评人士说，苹果只是试图掩盖电池寿命的不足。

Whatever the reason for this change, it’s annoying, because battery life estimates are useful. Sure, fluctuations in power usage means they were never much better than a guess, but there are all sorts of reasons even an estimate of battery life can come in handy. Here’s how to bring this information back to your Mac’s menu bar, or how to find it if you’d

无论发生这种变化的原因是什么，这都是令人讨厌的，因为电池寿命估算很有用。 当然，用电量的波动意味着它们永远比猜测的要好得多 ，但是有各种各样的原因，甚至可以估计电池寿命。 这是将这些信息带回到Mac菜单栏的方法，或者如果您愿意的话，如何找到它

使用电池监视器查看剩余时间 (Use Battery Monitor to See Time Remaining)

There is no way, within macOS itself, to bring back this information to the native battery icon. Happily, a free third party app called Battery Monitor gives the information both in the menu bar and alongside your Notification Center widgets.

在macOS本身中，无法将这些信息重新带回本地电池图标。 幸运的是，一个名为Battery Monitor的免费第三方应用程序在菜单栏中和Notification Center小部件旁边提供了信息。

After installing, you’ll notice the menu bar icon isn’t pretty, but when you click it, you’ll at least see the remaining time estimate in the bottom right:

安装后，您会注意到菜单栏图标不是很漂亮，但是当您单击它时，您至少会在右下角看到剩余的时间估算值：

We can make this even better with a little bit of configuration. Click the icon at top-left of this popup, and you’ll bring up a menu. Click “Preferences.”

通过一些配置，我们可以使它变得更好。 单击此弹出窗口左上方的图标，您将弹出一个菜单。 点击“偏好设置”。

This will open the Preferences screen, where we can really configure this thing.

这将打开“首选项”屏幕，在这里我们可以真正配置此东西。

I recommend first clicking “Show Charge Indicator,” which will make this application look just like the native Mac battery widget:

我建议先单击“显示电量指示器”，这将使该应用程序看起来像Mac电池本机小部件：

You can’t even tell which is which, can you? If you like that, you can remove the native battery indicator by holding Command and dragging it off the menu bar.

您甚至无法分辨是哪一个，可以吗？ 如果您愿意，可以按住Command并将其拖离菜单栏，以卸下本地电池指示器。

Back to the Preferences window, because we can do even better. Click “Show Battery Time” and you’ll see the time estimate without even having to click the menu bar icon.

返回“偏好设置”窗口，因为我们可以做得更好。 单击“显示电池时间”，您无需单击菜单栏图标即可看到时间估计。

That’s right: we’re taking the information Apple wanted to hide and making it even more prominent. Deal with it, Tim Cook.

没错：我们正在获取苹果想要隐藏的信息，并将其变得更加突出。 蒂姆·库克(Tim Cook)。

One last thing: Battery Monitor also offers a Notification Center widget, and you can use this even if Battery Monitor isn’t open.

最后一件事：Battery Monitor还提供了一个通知中心小部件，即使Battery Monitor未打开，您也可以使用它。

If you’d like to keep the default battery icon, you can still find the time remaining information this way. If you want more than battery life, Monit offers this battery information alongside CPU, memory, and disk data.

如果您想保留默认的电池图标，仍然可以通过这种方式找到剩余时间信息。 如果您要延长电池寿命， Monit会提供此电池信息以及CPU，内存和磁盘数据。

在活动监视器中查看电池寿命估计 (View a Battery Life Estimate In Activity Monitor)

If you only occasionally need to access the time remaining estimate, just open the Activity Monitor, which you’ll find in Applications > Utilities.

如果您仅偶尔需要访问剩余时间估计，只需打开“活动监视器” ，您将在“应用程序”>“实用程序”中找到该监视器 。

Click the “Energy” tab, and you’ll find the estimate at the bottom of the window. It’s not as convenient as the menu bar, but it doesn’t require any third party applications.

单击“能源”选项卡，您将在窗口底部找到估算值。 它不像菜单栏那样方便，但是它不需要任何第三方应用程序。

使用终端查看剩余电池寿命 (View Remaining Battery Life With the Terminal)

There’s one more way to see your battery life remaining timer: from the Terminal, which you can find in Applications > Utilities. Just type pmset -g batt, then hit enter, and you’ll see your battery life information, including a time remaining estimate:

还有另一种查看剩余电池寿命计时器的方法：从终端上找到，您可以在“应用程序”>“实用程序”中找到它。 只需输入pmset -g batt ，然后按Enter键，您将看到电池寿命信息，包括剩余时间估算：

You probably won’t manually run this command often, but there are other uses for this command. You could use it with Geektool, which puts custom widgets on your desktop, for example. Or if you’re really ambitious, you could probably make a widget for Bitbar, which lets you add anything to the menu bar.

您可能不会经常手动运行此命令，但是此命令还有其他用途。 您可以将其与Geektool结合使用， 例如，它将自定义小部件放在桌面上 。 或者，如果您真的很雄心勃勃，则可以为Bitbar制作一个小部件，该控件可让您向菜单栏中添加任何内容 。
