How to find/add extension to view battery health

[corey986]

Hi,

I just restored my Mac portable 5120 computer, Booting off the original internal hard drive, I have the ability to see that the battery is charging and the level on System 7.1. When I boot off an image from my BlueSCSI external with an image that I created in MiniVMac, I don't see the battery extension available. I searched the system extensions for "battery" on the original drive and got nothing.

What do I need to install/download so my boot image has the "battery life" extension? Is there a file I need to copy off my original internal drive?

FYI: I do want to eventually replace or minimally unplug my original and just use the BlueScsi for my hard drive so that I do not needlessly wear the original drive as it wakes up/sleeps over time, something I did with my Lisa using an SD card adapter, and that has worked out well.

Thanks,
Cheers,
Corey

Never mind, I found it under "Apple Menu Items" in the system folder. Was able to copy it over to a BlueScsi image.

Still getting used to System 7. It's been about 30+ years since I used System 7 daily and my only other vintage Macs are an early 128 and a fat Mac both running System 1.1 and 2.0 with minimal software installed, so everything fits on a 400k floppies and no hard drive.
