1. Copy the following files from a XP installation (x64 if you use x64 Windows)

batmeter.dll

powercfg.cpl

2. Rename powercfg.cpl (XP) to xppowerc.cpl

3. Rename batmeter (XP) to xpbatmet.dll

4. Open xppowerc.cpl in a hex editor

5. Replace everything that has "batmeter.dll" with "xpbatmet.dll"

6. Save it

6.1. Resource hack xppowerc.cpl and remove all the dialogs except the battery related ones (Optional)

7. Open it
