Device BatteryA taskbar widget for Windows 10 and 11Pro
Windows knows the charge in your Bluetooth mouse, keyboard and phone. It just won't tell you without three clicks into Settings, and it never warns you. Device Battery puts the answer on the taskbar and shows the device that needs you first — not an average, but whichever is closest to dying, named and drawn with its own icon so you know what to go and charge. It stays monochrome until something drops under your threshold, then that one reading turns amber. Click it for every device that reports, each with its own bar, and an honest note about the ones that don't: a lot of headphones and speakers simply never publish a battery level to Windows, and a widget that invented a number for them would be worse than one that admits it.
Where it runs
What it does
- The device closest to empty, named and iconed, rather than an average
- Quiet and monochrome until something crosses your threshold, then amber
- Knows a mouse from a keyboard from a phone from a controller by name
- Flyout lists every reporting device with its own bar
- Says plainly which connected devices don't report a battery at all
- Optionally cycles through your devices instead of pinning the lowest
- Follows the taskbar's own colour, and re-matches when the theme changes
- Reads every few minutes — the number moves in hours, not seconds
