Accessing "battery condition".

[cheddar-caveman]

I have just erased my old 2018 MBP, running Monterey prior to selling but would like to post a screen shot of the battery condition - for potential buyers.

At the moment, when I turn it on it starts up the setup, Language etc.

Can I access the battery condition without going through the whole set-up again or I'll have to re clear the HD.

Coconut Battery
(free utility)

Thanks but to download that utility to the MBP it would need to be up and running! If possible I don't want to go right through the set-up.
Anyway, bit the bullet and signed back in, photographed the battery page, erased the HD again and now re installing OS.

Yep, that's the way.

That part was unnecessary. macOS Monterey has an "Erase all contents & settings" option that is much faster.

This feature requires macOS Monterey or later on a Mac with Apple silicon or a Mac with the Apple T2 Security Chip. Learn what to do if you can't use Erase All Content and Settings.

Mine did not meet this criteria, there was no "Erase all contents" available in the applications 😥

Hmm, 2018 should have T2 chip - unless it's the basic two-TB port model, I guess.
