On the Android virtual calculator, I have certainly observed it as near-full or near-empty, reflecting the phone's own status - so to that extent at least, it works. Cyrille indicates that the battery status from the OS is reported to the HP Prime as a percentage and I imagine the accuracy and resolution of that could vary from phone to phone.

I haven't checked the PC virtual calculator or Iphone but I assume these work too (of course, on a PC rather than laptop, the battery status might not be useful).

One difficulty the Android does have is updating the display (it requires a screen tap, as detailed in my post above).

Of course, on virtual calculators the virtual environment often provides other means of seeing the battery status, outside of the HP Prime emulation.
