Dashboard
The easiest way to check battery level is through the dashboard. The battery level is displayed on the top left of the dashboard when Zumi is not charging
If you are charging, you will see a charging icon instead.
Checking battery level with code!
If you want to check the percentage with Python code, call zumi.get_battery_percent() .
Since the percentage is an estimate based on the battery voltage, you might want to read the voltage using zumi.get_battery_voltage() . Anything above 3.8V is sufficiently charged. If the voltage drops below 3.45V, charge immediately. The percentage will also appear on Zumi's screen at the beginning of the boot sequence when you turn on Zumi.
