How do I check the battery level of the Stripe Reader M2?

  • From the reader: When reader is powered on, tap the power button once to check the battery level. For every 25% increment it is charged, one LED will glow. While the reader is charging, the next LED will also blink.

  • From the Gate App: Within the point-of-sale, tap the credit card icon from the navigation bar. For the currently-paired reader, the first line provides both the reader name and percentage battery level.
