I know if I transfer over to the desktop version of the home screen I can find out the percent of battery power remaining by placing the cursor over the little battery icon in the lower right of the task bar. But on the native 8.1 Start (the one with the metro tiles) screen I see no way to easily check remaining battery power. I searched the Windows Store for an app that would do this and there are none that I can find. Odd because the Android Play Store has dozens of apps that do this. Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to check battery power from the Start screen?


Help!!! :huh:

Thank you Edwin. That's good to know but I was looking for a way to determine the exact percentage of battery power remaining. All that display does is give you a rough idea based on the size of the battery. Any suggestions for getting the exact battery reserve?
