My battery meter stopped showing up on the toolbar. When i go into the
taskbar properties and when i go into the notifications tab the power option
is unavailable.

Hopefully someone will be of more help than I, but I did find a temporary fix for you;

For many people with this problem, simply logging out and then back in will restore the battery meter, at least for a while.
