Product:macOS + SDK Product Version:10.12.3
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:N/A
 
Area:
Menu Bar

Summary:
It has gotten difficult to get a useful idea of how much batttery life I have left when it gets low. The icon is extremely inaccurate (rdar://30365932), and I don't want to have the percentage always visible. I would like to see the *percentage* remaining when I click on the icon, without having to toggle it on and off all the time just so I can check on it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable the battery menu bar item
2. Click on it

Expected Results:
If the "Show Percentage" option is off, I'd expect to see that data in the menu itself.

Actual Results:
There is no information about the percentage remaining.

Version:
10.12.3 and 10.12.4 beta 1

Notes:
I previously filed rdar://30365957 which was closed with the comment "This was removed intentionally," which doesn't make a lot of sense, because I'm asking for a feature that has never existed.

Configuration:
3.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Graphics 550 1536 MB
