I use SlimBatteryMonitor, it loads a menu icon that can be color
coded, shows time left till empty, shows percent charged while
charging and pops up a dialog box when the battery gets to 10% left.
And its donationware, pay only if you want to.

Still no time showing... So I thought maybe a Widget would work and
downloaded EVERY Widget that said it would monitor my battery. Some
of them wouldn't even show that I had a battery, some constantly
showed 0%, and one (miniStat Battery) not only showed the %, but
showed it up to a tenth of a % (89.5% instead of just 89%).
And then I struck paydirt. "Juice" http://www.islayer.net/
viewWidget.php?id=11 showed the time left! Not only when I was
using just the battery, but how long, in hours and minutes, it
would be until it was fully charged as I was charging it!! Now how
can iSlayer "a small team of focused widget and web developers" get
the details just right and so many others, including Apple, drop
the ball.
Anybody know the best way to let Apple know and have the best
chance of getting something fixed? I would still love to have that
info up in the Menu where I could see it all the time. Oh well,
give Juice a shot (freeware at that), and let me know if it works.
Or if anything else does as well.
Thanks,
Dan-
