Last Updated: June 27, 2017

What's more annoying than not seeing your battery percentage left on your tablet/Kindle Fire? Well, worry no more; with a Kindle Fire, you can still have the information on battery power left on your device. With a few simple steps, you can achieve what most users want to know about these features, so they don't end up having other problems later down the road.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:
Status Bar

1
Turn on and unlock your Amazon Kindle Fire device. You'll eventually arrive at your Carousel/home screen.
2
Pull the black bar down from the top of the screen, until it reaches the very bottom of the device. This bar is considered to be your notifications bar.
3
Tap on the More button, which can be found at the right-most option near the top of the screen. This will bring up your settings to your device.
4
Tap the Device option from the multiple-option list that results.
5
Locate and tap the On portion of the bar to the right of the "Show Battery Percentage in Status Bar" section that, by default, should be set to "Off".

Method 2

Method 2 of 2:
Notifications Bar

1
Recognize that there isn't any official Amazon Kindle-fire (installed by OS) method, but with the help of an app (FREE), you can achieve what you're hoping to achieve.
2
Open the Amazon Kindle Fire app store for your device.
3
Search for the term "battery" in the Application Store. You'll eventually come up with this app by MacroPinch called "Battery" (how convenient).
4
Download and install MacroPinch's Battery app on your Kindle Fire device.
5
Open up the app.
6
Tap the "Notifications" button.
7
Pull down the Notifications bar once again. You can then verify that the notifications now has put an everlasting notification in your Notifications bar, until you uncheck this checkbox in this app.
