In-App Battery Indicator Guide

If you see a red battery icon in the app 🪫, this article explains what it means and which ShotKam models support the in-app battery indicator.

 

Units Without an In-App Battery Indicator

The following ShotKam models do not support the in-app battery indicator:

  • Gen 3 units
  • Gen 4 units with yellow metal rings at the back

Check your model here. For these models, the app will always show one red bar. This is not a sign of an empty battery, but simply indicates that the unit lacks the hardware to display battery levels.

Checking Your Battery Level

If your ShotKam lacks an in-app indicator, use these methods to check the battery:

  1. Battery Test: Perform a quick at-home test to check your battery’s health. Click here for instructions.
  2. LED Flashing Red: When the battery is low, the LED will flash red to signal it’s time to recharge.

Compatibility of the In-App Battery Indicator

The in-app battery indicator is only available on Gen 4 units with green, red, blue, or purple metal rings. It is a hardware feature and cannot be added to earlier models or units with yellow rings.
