Is there a way to query the PiDog for its battery charge level?

You can check the battery level through the battery indicator LEDs or by using a multimeter:

Battery Indicator Guide:  
🔋 Both LEDs ON - Voltage above 7.6V (Good charge)  
🔋 One LED ON - Voltage between 7.15V ~ 7.6V (Low charge)  
🔋 Both LEDs OFF - Voltage below 7.15V (Needs recharging)

Alternative Method:  
📏 For precise measurement, you can use a multimeter to check the battery voltage directly.

Using code, you can check as follows:

from pidog import Pidog  
dog = Pidog()  
voltage = dog.get\_battery\_voltage()  
print(f’battery voltage: {voltage}')

The battery voltage can also be checked via code, but we recommend combining this with actual measured data.
