Battery Time Remaining shows your battery's estimated time at the top of your screen in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. This version, a fork of the original, is implemented as an NSMenuExtra, so you can re-arrange it in the menu bar by holding the command key and dragging, just like Apple's original implementation.
This version does not intend to replace the original Battery Time Remaining, as it is not App Store-safe. This is just for those who would like to be able to re-arrange the status item to their hearts' content!
This version also has slightly different strings to more closely match Apple's version. I may have broken the localization; if the menu extra doesn't show up in your language, let me know.

Apple removed the option to show the remaining battery time in the menu bar since the release of Mountain Lion. This project restores the functionality.
