Предыдущие версии Windows показывали, сколько времени работы осталось от аккумулятора, в Windows 10 по умолчанию на индикаторе заряда отображается лишь оставшийся процент заряда. Тем не менее, возможность включить отображение ожидаемого времени работы от батареи остается.
В этой инструкции о том, как самостоятельно сделать так, чтобы при подведении указателя мыши к значку батареи в области уведомлений Windows 10 можно было увидеть ожидаемое время автономной работы от аккумулятора. Также может быть полезно: Что делать, если пропал индикатор батареи в Windows 10, Как получить отчет о батарее ноутбука в Windows 10.
Примечание: прежде чем выполнять описанные далее изменения, проверьте, возможно ваш ноутбук уже показывает оставшееся время (иногда необходимые настройки делают утилиты производителя) — отключите ноутбук от сети, поработайте несколько минут (данные о времени автономной работы появляются не сразу), а затем подведите указатель мыши к индикатору заряда батареи и задержите пока не появится подсказка с информацией об остатке заряда.
Включение отображения оставшегося времени аккумулятора с помощью редактора реестра
Для того, чтобы включить отображение не только оставшегося процента заряда аккумулятора, но и ожидаемого времени работы ноутбука, выполните следующие шаги:
- Нажмите клавиши Win+R, введите regedit и нажмите Enter.
- В открывшемся редакторе реестра перейдите к разделу
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
- В правой части окна редактора реестра посмотрите, присутствуют ли значения с именами EnergyEstimationDisabled и UserBatteryDischargeEstimator. При наличии таковых нажмите по ним правой кнопкой мыши и выберите «Удалить».
- Проверьте, есть ли в том же разделе реестра параметр с именем EnergyEstimationEnabled. Если нет, создайте его: нажатие правой кнопкой мыши в пустом месте правой части редактора — создать — параметр DWORD (32 бита), даже для 64-битной Windows 10.
- Дважды нажмите по параметру EnergyEstimationEnabled и задайте значение 1 для него. Кстати, можно изначально было действовать и по-другому: просто переименовать параметр EnergyEstimationDisabled в EnergyEstimationEnabled на 3-м шаге вместо его удаления.
На этом всё: можно закрыть редактор реестра, обычно изменения вступают в силу без перезагрузки компьютера. Но сведения об оставшемся времени отображаются только при отключенном сетевом блоке питания и не сразу, а только через некоторое время, после сбора статистики.
Также рекомендую учитывать, что информация не очень точная и в значительной степени зависит от того, что именно вы делаете на вашем ноутбуке.

Home » Windows 10 » How To Show Battery Percentage On Taskbar In Windows 10/11
With default settings, Windows 10 displays a battery icon in the system tray area of the taskbar. The battery icon on the taskbar gives a rough idea about the current status of the battery’s charge level, but it’s hard to make out the actual remaining battery capacity by having a look at the battery icon.
Modern smartphone operating systems, as well as desktop operating systems such as Android, iOS, and macOS, offer an option to show the percentage of remaining battery charge.
Sure, you can hover the mouse cursor on the battery icon on the Windows 10 taskbar to see the remaining battery capacity in percentage but clicking on the battery icon each time to know the remaining battery charge in terms of percentage doesn’t make sense at all.
Would it not be nice if there was an option to show battery percentage on your Windows 10 taskbar instead of the default battery icon? Unfortunately, Windows 10 doesn’t offer an option to replace the battery icon with battery percentage, at least for now.
Show battery percentage on Windows 10 taskbar using BatteryBar free
Rather than clicking on the battery icon every time you want to know the remaining battery level in terms of percentage, you can download free software called BatteryBar.
The basic version of BatteryBar is a free utility for the Windows operating system to give you some useful information about the battery. The free version of the BatteryBar program can display an accurate battery percentage on your taskbar without taking up much space.
The BatteryBar appears on the taskbar right after you install the program. But if it’s not showing up taskbar, right-click on the empty spot on the taskbar, click Toolbars, and then click BatteryBar to show BatteryBar on your Windows 10 taskbar.
The BatteryBar icon, as you can see in the pictures, is modern and blends very well with other system icons on the taskbar, such as Wi-Fi and Volume.
With default settings, BatteryBar displays the time remaining instead of the battery percentage. Simply click on the BatteryBar in the taskbar to toggle between time remaining and percentage.
Hover the mouse over the BatteryBar percentage to see information about the actual capacity of the battery, discharge rate, remaining time, full runtime, battery wear, and elapsed time since the last charge.
The basic, free version of BatteryBar doesn’t display low, critical, and full battery notifications. Also, there is no way to change or customize the default look of the BatteryBar on the taskbar with custom themes and fonts. That said, the default look of the BatteryBar is really nice.
Overall, the BatteryBar program is ridiculously simple and works with Windows 7, Windows 10, and Windows 11 as well.
If you’re looking for a smart way to show battery percentage on your Windows 10/11 taskbar, download the BatteryBar basic version (free) right away.
Last but not least, the BatteryBar program is very low on system resources. So you can keep it running all the time without worrying about resource usage.
