Use PFSystemKit. It is a framework that gives you about anything (besides sensors/smc info), including battery life, cycle, temperature and other stuff, just import the framework. Then add #import <PFSystemKit/PFSystemKit.h>. Then just add this code for battery info, make sure to change "cycleCount" to something else in a different case

 PFSystemKit *systemKit = [PFSystemKit investigate];
 NSString *batteryCycle = [systemKit.batteryReport cycleCount];
 [label setStringValue:batteryCycle];

PS, sorry for a late response :P, and just a heads up I have a macmini so my output is NULL!

Hope this'll help you:

  1. It uses non-approved calls, so don’t post your application with this code or you may be rejected!

  2. From Apple; so don't worry about this code: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/BatteryStatus/Introduction/Intro.html (With complete sample code)
