I don't know which version your using (MX-21, MX-23) or desktop (XFCE, KDE, fluxbox) but have you looked at gnome-power-manager in the repos?
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

So I don't think it could be easily installed on MX as it is part of MATE.

@siamhie Thanks for the suggestions, but that is not what I am looking for.

@Steve Yes, that is what I am looking for. It has come in very handy on my old Lenovo Thinkpad T520 running the latest Mint MATE several times. My little HP Stream 11 that is running MX XFCE doesn't have such a graph and where the battery in this little HP lasts a lot longer than the Lenovo due to a much lower-power CPU, it would be nice to have a graph here as well :)
Debian does have MATE in the repos, and you should be able to install mate-power-manager and run it in the xfce taskbar.
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing
