Windows 11 brings battery status icon changes

The update aims to improve the user experience by clearly distinguishing battery states. The new icons will allow Windows 11 users to easily identify battery status, including unplugged, charging, and unknown battery status.

Changes in old ( left ) and new icons coming to Windows 11

According to Windows Latest , Microsoft introduced these battery icons during a video conference in early March, but there are no details about the official release date. The report said that all Windows 11 users will receive the new battery level icons, but Windows 11 Insiders will be prioritized for the update.

Many experts have commented that the new icons are similar in design to the battery charge indicators on mobile devices, with some saying they are inspired by iOS products, while others see them as similar to the design of Android devices. Each new icon will indicate a specific battery status, with color coding to distinguish situations such as disconnected, charging, or low battery.

Sync with Windows 11 theme

Not only are the new icons taller and slimmer, they're also styled to match the Windows theme. If the user chooses the dark theme, the battery icon will be black, while the light theme will show the battery in white.

Here is a summary of the battery states that will be updated:

• Battery is not connected to power source
• Energy saving (yellow when this feature is active)
• Charging (green lightning icon)
• Smart charging (to indicate battery charging protection)
• Slow charging (error icon is black)
• Low battery level (narrow red bar when between 1% and 5%)
• Unknown battery (multiplication symbol)

Windows Latest also says that this update was scheduled to be released last month but was delayed due to an unforeseen bug. In fact, news of this update has been leaked since January, when developers discovered a hidden feature in the Windows 11 developer build.
