iBook Battery Never Shows Time Remaining

My iBook, which appears to be operating normally otherwise, and still retains its ability to take and hold a battery charge, has stopped telling me how much battery life I have left:

I’ve tried resetting the PMU, and zapping the PRAM; neither had an effect. I’m open to suggestions.

I have a 2002 g3 ibook, 12” screen… anyhow, when I click on the battery icon an option for “show time”, “show percent” and “show neither” comes up. I hope that works for you.
