How to find the battery indicator
You can check the battery level of your Xbox One controller anytime. Here’s how:
- While your controller is on, press the Xbox button on the controller to go to the console’s Home screen.
- When you’re on the Home screen, press the Xbox button one time. You’ll see the battery indicator in the lower-right corner of the Home screen.
If you have multiple controllers, the battery indicator will only show the status for the controller on which you pressed the Xbox button.
How to read the battery indicator
Alkaline or rechargeable batteries
Whether you’re using alkaline or rechargeable batteries (including the rechargeable battery pack from the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit), the battery indicator will show how much battery life you have left. If your batteries are low and need to be replaced or recharged, the on-screen icon will appear as red.
Note: The accuracy of the charge can vary depending on the battery type and brand.
Charging
If you’re charging an Xbox One rechargeable battery pack, the battery indicator will be animated to indicate that the battery in your controller is charging.
Wired connection
When you use a USB cable to connect the controller to the console, the battery indicator will show a plug over the battery.
