How to Show Battery Percentage on macOS Monterey – Guide

The battery percentage meter is a quick and easy way to see how long you can use your MacBook before it runs out of power. Of course, the battery icon itself can be used to determine this, but it’s just a rough estimate and not a more accurate representation. After upgrading to macOS Big Sur or later, the battery percentage is no longer displayed in the menu bar by default. We’re assuming Apple did this to make room for the Control Center and other menu bar items. If you are one of those users who often trust this indicator, you can still enable it manually.

In macOS, the battery percentage is displayed in the menu bar with Monterey or Big Sur. To see it in macOS Monterey, you need to enable the Mac battery status display in the System Preferences dialog and enable the corresponding display in the menu bar.

In System Preferences, select the “Privacy” tab. Under “Privacy,” select the “Location Services” check box. Under “Location Services,” select the “Use Cellular Data” check box.

Check the estimated remaining battery time on Mac

This will open the Battery Menu. From here, you can: -View the battery’s current status -Change the battery’s status -Delete the battery ..

Just below the Power Source, you will see the estimated time remaining.

In addition to the contextual menu, the battery drain indicator also shows which app was using significant energy. This will tell you which app was the main culprit behind the battery drain.

Final note

How to Show Battery Percentage on macOS Monterey In order to show battery percentage on macOS Monterey, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the System Preferences app and click the Battery icon.
  2. In the Battery section, you will see a list of devices that are connected to your Mac. You can see the name of each device and its battery level in this list. If there is a red line across one or more of the devices in this list, then it means that the device is not connected to your Mac and it is not able to report its battery level. If there is a green line across one or more of the devices in this list, then it means that the device is connected to your Mac but its battery level is low and you may want to take some time to charge it up.
  3. To show how much power each device has left, you can look at how many hours are left in each category (hours/day/week). The categories are: CPU hours (hours), Memory hours (hours), Disk hours (hours), Graphics hours (hours), Networking hours (hours), and Battery minutes (mins). The first number in each category is how many hours ago that category was last reported; for example, CPU Hours was last reported at 10:00 PM on Wednesday night. The second number in each category is how many minutes ago that category was last reported; for example, Memory Hours was last reported at 10:00 PM on Wednesday night.
