Abstract

Examples of methods and devices provide a charge level indication of a removable power source of a lighting control device. An example method may include receiving an input indication. A duration of the input is measured. If the measured duration exceeds a predetermined input duration threshold, an indication of a charge level of a removable power supply is obtained. The obtained charge level indication is compared, by a control unit, to a threshold charge level of the power supply. The threshold charge level is indicates an amount of charge remaining in the power supply. In response to a comparison result, an indicator light signal is applied to an indicator light. An example device may include a removable electrical power supply, an input device, an indicator light, and a control unit all of which may cooperate to perform a disclosed method.
