You might consider using conky which is a great lightweight system monitor that can not only monitor your battery state but many, many other functions of your computer.

In Manjaro Fluxbox there is a simple battery indicator applet called cbatticon.

I prefer mate-power-manager, which is more complete and looks better.

I dislike the look of slids and don't want to install something as heavy as xfce4-power-manager so I am using xbattbar. It's in the repos and adds a green bar on the top/bottom according to your battery status.
