What is the fastest way to use touch to see battery level on a Windows 8 Surface tablet? Currently it seems that I have to go to the lock screen to see battery level, but that is quite a bit of effort to get to and return from. Is there a better way?

Swipe in from the right to access the Charms. It will be in the bottom left next to the time.

Only problem is it doesn't seem to tell you if it's charging and its percentage as a number, even if you try to tap it. – hippietrail – 2015-07-01T05:36:50.703

That is fantastic! Quick swipe to see battery, signal strength, and time. Quick swipe again to make it go away. – GaTechThomas – 2012-10-29T14:36:37.040
