So this utility works only for Apple branded bluetooth items. Thanks “noibs” for the confirmation.

I’ve got bluetooth headphones, mice, and two different numeric keypads. None are Apple branded. None show a battery level. This article needs to be amended.

I use the Might Monitor widget, displays levels for keyboard and pad/mouse. Easy

This may certainly be true for Apple Bluetooth devices…I use a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and it most certainly does NOT display the battery charge (I wish it did). I’m just saying…maybe you should qualify your statements before you write them.

@Jan – Probably limited to devices that are ‘official’ Apple hardware is my guess, sanctioned or otherwise

Anyone know how do you check this battery life in iOS? Is it even possible?

Contrary to your writing not all connected accessories will show a Battery Level. My Logitech mouse doesn’t, my Apple keyboard does. Or is that because I’m on Snow Leopard?

If you Option+click the BT menu you will find even more information like signal strength and device hardware address
