#include <MAX17043.h>

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  FuelGauge.begin();
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.print("Battery percentage is ");
  Serial.print(_fuelGauge.percent());
}

or

#include <MAX1704X.h>

MAX1704X _fuelGauge = MAX1704X(MAX17043_mV); 

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  _fuelGauge.begin();
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.print("Battery percentage is ");
  Serial.print(_fuelGauge.percent());
}

Notes

The default fuel gauge address used by the library is 0x36 (I2C_DEFAULT_ADDRESS).
