On an Ubuntu 12.04 system, I rotated my beagle board screen display to landscape mode and now the battery status indicator applet is disappeared. Is there any simple applet program to display the battery status in Ubuntu or any possible way to show the battery status indicator applet?

If all you need is just to know battery percentage, and not intimidated of using terminal just a little bit, refer to my answer here and you also can read the whole post on this topic: askubuntu.com/a/501389/295286– Sergiy KolodyazhnyyAug 8, 2014 at 8:17

Make sure that the indicator-power is installed.
sudo apt-get install indicator-power
If it's installed though then you can try re-installing it.
sudo apt-get purge indicator-power
sudo apt-get install indicator-power
UPDATE:
The whole indicator applet:Clone of the GNOME panel indicator applet
sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-complete
Unity Global Menu type applet: Clone of the GNOME panel indicator applet
sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-appmenu
Session applet: Clone of the GNOME panel indicator applet
sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-session
Win+Alt+Right click the panel if using Gnome-Classic or Alt+Right click the panel if using Gnome-Classic (No Effects)
Choose Add To Panel and add the following indicator
ALSO:
UPDATE2:
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent |grep POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITYin
acpi
sudo apt-get install acpi
acpi -b
produces kind of:
Battery 0: Charging, 43%, 06:09:08 until charged
battery-status
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iaz/battery-status && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install battery-status
/usr/lib/battery-status/battery-status --indicator
