    How to check battery level of external Bluetooth devices on Surface machine.

    Hi Caitlyn,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Most Bluetooth devices have their own application interfaces which allow users to change default actions and provide more control over the device. Most of these applications provide information about the battery status as well.



    Windows 10 version 1803 includes a new feature to show the battery level of external Bluetooth device. Windows 10 shows the battery level of the external device only, if the device supports the feature. All devices might not support this feature.

    Go to Settings->Devices->Bluetooth and other devices.

    If the device is connected and supports the feature, you should be able to see the battery level next to the device name.



    Since, you are using a surface machine, the surface app has a dedicated battery level section for Microsoft Bluetooth accessories, letting you get an overall glimpse at how much longer each has left before it's in need of some more power. You can download
    the app from the link below.

    Microsoft
    Surface app




    On surface app, click on the battery icon to see the connected Microsoft accessories listed along with their battery level. Compatible accessories include devices like the Surface Pen and Surface Dial, Microsoft Surface Mouse and Ergonomic Keyboard.



    Hope it helps.

    Please feel free to contact back, in case you need any further assistance and mark the answer as 'Yes', if it helps.

  3. How to check battery level of external Bluetooth devices on Surface machine.

    I have a Surface Pro 4 updated to the most recent software update. I'm unable to see the battery levels of my connected Bluetooth devices, such as my Microsoft Bluetooth mouse. Is there a setting I need to turn on?
