npx expo install expo-battery
If you are installing this in an existing React Native app (bare workflow), start by installing expo
in your project. Then, follow the additional instructions as mentioned by library's README under "Installation in bare React Native projects" section.
import { useBatteryLevel } from 'expo-battery';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
export default function App() {
const batteryLevel = useBatteryLevel();
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text>Current Battery Level: {batteryLevel}</Text>
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
marginTop: 15,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
},
});
import * as Battery from 'expo-battery';
useBatteryLevel()
Gets the device's battery level, as in getBatteryLevelAsync
.
number
The battery level of the device.
Example
const batteryLevel = useBatteryLevel();
useBatteryState()
Gets the device's battery state, as in getBatteryStateAsync
.
The battery state of the device.
Example
const batteryState = useBatteryState();
useLowPowerMode()
Boolean that indicates if the device is in low power or power saver mode, as in isLowPowerModeEnabledAsync
.
boolean
Returns a boolean indicating if the device is in low power mode.
Example
const lowPowerMode = useLowPowerMode();
usePowerState()
Gets the device's power state information, as in getPowerStateAsync
.
Returns power state information.
Example
const { lowPowerMode, batteryLevel, batteryState } = usePowerState();
getBatteryLevelAsync()
Gets the battery level of the device as a number between 0
and 1
, inclusive. If the device
does not support retrieving the battery level, this method returns -1
. On web, this method
always returns 1
.
Promise<number>
A Promise
that fulfils with a number between 0
and 1
representing the battery level,
or -1
if the device does not provide it.
Example
await Battery.getBatteryLevelAsync();
// 0.759999
getBatteryStateAsync()
Tells the battery's current state. On web, this always returns BatteryState.UNKNOWN
.
Returns a Promise
which fulfills with a Battery.BatteryState
enum
value for whether the device is any of the four states.
Example
await Battery.getBatteryStateAsync();
// BatteryState.CHARGING
getPowerStateAsync()
Gets the power state of the device including the battery level, whether it is plugged in, and if the system is currently operating in Power Saver Mode (Android) or Low Power Mode (iOS). This method re-throws any errors that occur when retrieving any of the power-state information.
Returns a Promise
which fulfills with PowerState
object.
Example
await Battery.getPowerStateAsync();
// {
// batteryLevel: 0.759999,
// batteryState: BatteryState.UNPLUGGED,
// lowPowerMode: true,
// }
isAvailableAsync()
Resolves with whether the battery API is available on the current device. The value of this
property is true
on Android and physical iOS devices and false
on iOS simulators. On web,
it depends on whether the browser supports the web battery API.
Promise<boolean>
isBatteryOptimizationEnabledAsync()
Checks whether battery optimization is enabled for your application. If battery optimization is enabled for your app, background tasks might be affected when your app goes into doze mode state. (only on Android 6.0 or later)
Promise<boolean>
Returns a Promise
which fulfills with a boolean
value of either true
or false
,
indicating whether the battery optimization is enabled or disabled, respectively. (Android only)
Example
await Battery.isBatteryOptimizationEnabledAsync();
// true
isLowPowerModeEnabledAsync()
Gets the current status of Power Saver mode on Android and Low Power mode on iOS. If a platform
doesn't support Low Power mode reporting (like web, older Android devices), the reported low-power
state is always false
, even if the device is actually in low-power mode.
Promise<boolean>
Returns a Promise
which fulfills with a boolean
value of either true
or false
,
indicating whether low power mode is enabled or disabled.
Example
Power Saver Mode (Android) or Low Power Mode (iOS) are enabled.
await Battery.isLowPowerModeEnabledAsync();
// true
addBatteryLevelListener(listener)
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
listener | (event: BatteryLevelEvent) => void | A callback that is invoked when battery level changes. The callback is provided a
single argument that is an object with a |
Subscribe to the battery level change updates.
On Android devices, the event fires only when significant changes happens, which is when the
battery level drops below android.intent.action.BATTERY_LOW
or rises above android.intent.action.BATTERY_OKAY
from a low battery level. See Monitor the Battery Level and Charging State
in Android documentation for more information.
On iOS devices, the event fires when the battery level drops one percent or more, but is only fired once per minute at maximum.
On web, the event never fires.
A Subscription
object on which you can call remove()
to unsubscribe from the listener.

Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
listener | (event: BatteryStateEvent) => void | A callback that is invoked when battery state changes. The callback is provided a

Subscribe to the battery state change updates to receive an object with a Battery.BatteryState
enum value for whether the device is any of the four states.
On web, the event never fires.
