In previous versions of OS X the battery indicator in the menubar included options to show the remaining battery life as percentage or time (or nothing).
In Mountain Lion, there's only an option to show the percentage?!?!
How can I get the missing option back?

You just can't show the remaining battery time in the menubar since Mountain Lion.
The following free app uses almost the same icon design and adds a bit more features which makes it a valid replacement:

You can read my blog post for some more detail on what I did, it also won't hurt to report a bug to Apple. So this issue will get to their attention.
