Laptop battery kext

Hello, I successfully installed my Mountain Lion, but now I have some weird problem, related to my laptop battery. I can still use it on battery, but I can't see little battery that should be there on the menu bar near the clock.

 

And yes, I tried to check the "Show battery status in menu bar" from the System Preferences, but it doesn't work.

 

Where can I find a working kext for laptop battery?

 

My laptop is Acer Aspire 5738G, 4GB DDR3, 2.20 GHz Intel C2D (if needed, I can provide other specs).

 

Thank you in advance.

Well, tried the first one, it shows the battery, but with an X and it says "No batteries available".

 

The second one (BATTERY.zip) is damaged. Can't unzip it :(

Can you reupload, please?

 

Thanks for your help!

I tried VoodooBattery kext I found for Lion, and it is working for Mountain Lion too!

 

I deleted my AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext (not sure if you have to though) and also deleted the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from ML and then installed both kexts in the attached archive with Kext Utility. Reboot -> profit! :wink2:
