Is it possible to display the battery status of my powermeter as a data field?

I know that I can see the battery status by going to

Settings -> Sensors -> (Power meter Device ID) -> Status

One of the pieces of information is battery status. And of course I get an on-screen alert when the battery level is low. But is there a way to display the battery level of the power meter as a data field, just as it's possible to display the battery level of the Edge 820 unit itself or the battery level of my Di2?

Here is a complete list of 820 data fields. Power meter battery level/status does not appear to be among them.

When the PM is active and connected, you can view details under Settings, Sensors. In my case for two different power meters it shows battery status OK, but not a level. I can check the battery levels with phone apps, which I do every few weeks.

Thanks for the pointer to the phone app. I'll try that.

I just looked and there are some IQ aps that have power meter battery level data fields. You might check these out and see if one works for your PM. Here's and example: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/22fb07ab-a1d9-4fa7-bd9a-01370249fcb5
