See the [battery level feature page](../features/battery.md) for more details on configuring a battery sensor.
See [Configuration Overview](index.md) for instructions on how to change these settings.
### Kconfig
Definition file: [zmk/app/Kconfig](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/blob/main/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.

## Battery Voltage Divider Sensor
Driver for reading the voltage of a battery using an ADC connected to a voltage divider.
### Devicetree
Applies to: `compatible = "zmk,battery-voltage-divider"`
See [Zephyr's voltage divider documentation](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/build/dts/api/bindings/adc/voltage-divider.html).
## nRF VDDH Battery Sensor
Driver for reading the voltage of a battery using a Nordic nRF52's VDDH pin.
### Devicetree
Applies to: `compatible = "zmk,battery-nrf-vddh"`
Definition file: [zmk/app/module/dts/bindings/sensor/zmk,battery-nrf-vddh.yaml](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/blob/main/app/module/dts/bindings/sensor/zmk%2Cbattery-nrf-vddh.yaml)
This driver has no configuration.
