Not sure what you need, but while in VR you can press the system button to pop the SteamVR Dashboard, in this mode the controller models you get will have battery indicators on them.

Outside of VR, if the controllers are on, I'm pretty sure you can just mouse over the controller icons in the SteamVR Status window.

Outside of that, if you're actually developing something, it's possible to read the battery level as a property off of a tracked device through the OpenVR API, but I won't go into detail about that unless necessary 🤣
