Don’t Worry, You can still check Battery “Remaining Time” of your macOS 10.12.2

In previous report, it was said that Apple removes “Battery available time” on macOS 10.12.2 official version launched today, battery icon on menu bar still shows remaining battery percentage, but displays MacBook estimated duration time of remaining battery life no longer.

Such change may result from that Apple worries about the fact that based on active user behavior, its MacBook dynamic algorithm cannot conclude an accurate estimate of remaining battery life. However, we can still check MacBook “Battery available time” without installing any 3rd party software.
Click Finder, and select “applications” on the left side of popup window, and open “Activity Monitor”.

Select “Energy Consumption” tag on the top of “Activity Monitor” window, then you can check “remaining battery life”, “remaining time” and “time used” at the bottom of the window.

Although to check “available time”, this way is not as handy as before, Apple once expressed “Any operation on MacBook can affect battery life in some ways, so it would bother users if the indicator is less accurate.” Therefore, we could keep the hope that Apple can improve on this in future version updates.
