Battery indicator on Mac

Hi all. I'm running the latest version of Mac OS, 10.12.2
I've noticed since installing the most recent update that I can no longer hear my battery level with VoiceOver. Now when I navigate to battery in the Menu Extras bar, VoiceOver just says "Battery", but no longer says the current percentage. When I open this Battery menu there is an option which says "Show battery percentage" and I have this checked, but still no battery percentage appears.
Is this a known issue or is it just me? Any fixes?
Thanks
Dave

I have had the same problem. I noticed that my battery percentage no longer is said by voice over after updating to the latest version of OS 10. I hope there is a fix for this. I use Siri now to learn my battery percentage.

Thanks for all of those tips, very useful. I have also written to Apple Accessibility about it. Many thanks.
