Gamepad Battery Monitor

Gamepad Battery Monitor is a lifesaver for gamers. No one wants their controller to die right in the middle of an epic game, right? It can be tricky to keep tabs on your gamepad's battery when you're deep into the action on your PC. Luckily, this handy app comes to the rescue!

Easy Setup and Use

Once you download it, you can fire up the application right away—no complicated setup needed! It detects all connected gamepads in just seconds, as long as they are powered on.

Compatible with Your Favorite Controllers

This program works like a charm with any XInput-compatible gamepads. That means it’s perfect for Xbox 360, Xbox One, and even NVIDIA SHIELD controllers! So, no matter what you’re using, you’re covered.

Run in the Background

The best part? Gamepad Battery Monitor minimizes itself to the tray area and quietly tracks your controllers' charge levels while you play. If you want to check how much juice your controllers have left, just right-click on the tray icon!

Battery Level Notifications

The app shows each device’s battery status as full, medium, low, or empty. You can customize how you get notified when a controller's battery gets low. Want a pop-up alert? Or maybe a little vibration from your gamepad? You got it! You can even set it up to give you a spoken warning if that’s more your style.

A Few Glitches Here and There

Now, we did run into some hiccups during our tests. Even though it's supposed to let us know when battery levels drop below what we set, we couldn’t get any alerts during our tryouts. A bit of a bummer!

Final Thoughts

Overall, Gamepad Battery Monitor is straightforward and does its job well without fussing around too much with features. It’s great for keeping an eye on multiple gamepads while running quietly in the background—so you can focus on winning!
