With the battery percentage indicator, it becomes pretty easy to find out how much juice is left in the tank and when exactly you will need to plug your Mac for charging. That’s the reason why it has become a must for me. And I guess many of you would be pretty much in the same ballpark. Unfortunately, the modern versions of macOS do not display the battery percentage by default. Besides, its process has slightly been tweaked in macOS 13 due mainly to the redesign. But fret not, here is how you can easily show battery percentage in macOS 13 Ventura on Mac.
Display Battery Percentage Indicator on Mac in macOS 13 Ventura
Step 1. To get started, click on the Apple menu located in the upper-left corner of the screen and select System Settings. Alternatively, find the System Settings app (use the Spotlight search to quickly open it.)
Step 2. Now, click on Control Center.
Step 3. Next, scroll down to the Battery section.
Step 4. Next up, you have three options:
- Show in Menu Bar: Display the battery icon in the menu bar.
- Show in Control Center: Display the battery icon in the Control Center.
- Show Percentage: Display the battery percentage indicator.
Now, ensure that the toggle next to Show Percentage is enabled. For a more convenient battery tracking experience, you should show the battery in the menu bar or/and in the control center.
