<< Solved >> No battery indicated on HP Elitebook 820 G2

[KVyDavid]

I've successfully installed macOS Monterey. Everything is working fine except some issues

I've applied VirtualSMC, ECEnabler and SMCBatteryManager but battery doesn't show up in system preferences or the menu bar.

How do I fix this?

I've included my EFI so you guys can look up if there's anything i did wrong.

Thank you!

Sorry for the wrong device specs. This is my second hackintosh so i forgot to update it. I've updated it to my laptop specs

You mean add it to config.plist? I've already done that but nothing.

you didn't have it listed in your config.plist which is why it wasn't loading

use your keyboard to copy and paste the entry in

use PlistEditPro or xcode

OK, let my try that and hopefully this will work

I just discovered that somehow SMCBatteryManager.kext got emptied inside. (strange!)
So i just re-download and replace that kext and OC Clean Snapshot again.
After restart, battery appears and percentage seems accurate

Thank you very much for helping me!
