How do I check my Bluetooth battery on Windows 10?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To check the battery level of your Bluetooth devices on Windows 10, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app by clicking on the Start menu and selecting the gear icon or by pressing the Windows key + I on your keyboard.

2. In the Settings window, click on the “Devices” option. It usually has an icon resembling a computer monitor and a smartphone.

3. On the left-hand side of the Devices settings, you will see various options. Click on “Bluetooth & other devices” from the list.

4. In the Bluetooth & other devices section, you will find a list of all the devices connected to your computer via Bluetooth. This includes devices like mice, keyboards, pens, and headphones.

5. Look for the specific Bluetooth device for which you want to check the battery level. Under the “Mouse, keyboard, & pen” heading, you should see the device listed.

6. On the right side of the Bluetooth device listing, there should be a battery level indicator. This indicator shows the battery status of the device if it supports battery monitoring. If the device does not support battery monitoring or if the battery level is not available, you may not see this indicator.

7. The battery level indicator is usually displayed as a percentage, indicating how much charge is remaining in the device’s battery. This can give you an idea of when you might need to recharge or replace the batteries.

It’s worth noting that not all Bluetooth devices support battery monitoring, so you may not see a battery level indicator for every device connected to your computer. Additionally, the accuracy of the battery level indicator may vary depending on the device and its compatibility with Windows 10.

In my personal experience, I have found this battery level indicator to be quite helpful, especially for devices like wireless headphones or keyboards that rely on batteries. It allows me to keep track of the battery status and plan when I need to recharge or replace the batteries to avoid any unexpected interruptions.

To summarize, checking the battery level of your Bluetooth devices on Windows 10 is a straightforward process. By following the steps mentioned above, you can easily monitor the battery status of your compatible Bluetooth devices and ensure they are always ready for use.
