Battery Level Battery Level

See the battery level feature page for more details on configuring a battery sensor.

See Configuration Overview for instructions on how to change these settings.

Kconfig

Definition file: zmk/app/Kconfig

Config Type Description Default
CONFIG_ZMK_BATTERY_REPORTING bool Enables/disables all battery level detection/reporting n
CONFIG_ZMK_BATTERY_REPORT_INTERVAL int Battery level report interval in seconds 60

:::note Default setting

While CONFIG_ZMK_BATTERY_REPORTING is disabled by default it is implied by CONFIG_ZMK_BLE, thus any board with BLE enabled will have this automatically enabled unless explicitly overriden.

:::

:::note BLE reporting on MacOS

On macOS the BLE battery reporting packets can cause the computer to wakeup from sleep. To prevent this, the battery reporting service can be disabled by setting CONFIG_BT_BAS=n. This setting is independent of battery monitoring, for instance the battery level can still be indicated on a display.
