If you have peripherals, such as a mouse, keyboard, pen, or headphones, chances are they’re connected using Bluetooth, and if you want to check the battery level, you typically have to use their software or battery indicator in the peripheral itself.
However, on Windows 10, you can also check the battery level more quickly using the Settings app. Of course, this is possible only if the Bluetooth device supports this feature.
In this guide, you will learn the steps to check the battery level of your Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, and other devices on Windows 10.
Check Bluetooth battery level on Windows 10
To check the battery level of your compatible Bluetooth devices, use these steps:
-
Open Settings on Windows 10.
-
Click on Devices.
-
Click on Bluetooth & other devices.
-
Under the “Mouse, keyboard, & pen” section, check the battery level indicator on the right side for the Bluetooth device.
The battery level will update every time the computer and Bluetooth peripherals are connected.
If you don’t see the battery indicator, it’s likely because you’re not running the supported version of Windows 10, or your Bluetooth device doesn’t support this feature.
