I use a program called “Joy-Con Toolkit” that shows you the battery % of the pro controller on the bottom right https://github.com/CTCaer/jc_toolkit/releases

Here's the solution, works perfectly in 2024

So, after looking around for more than 2 hours and messing with the device information and the Windows API, it seems that it isn't possible to get the battery level of the Pro Controller inside Windows 10 (at least without writing custom drivers).

Either the Pro Controller doesn't send battery level when paired to a PC or Windows doesn't handle it. In both case, it makes it impossible for me to write a quick program to read this data and I have neither the time nor the skill to make a driver for the Pro Controller that would work with Big Picture.

BetterJoy is an app that translates Switch input into XInput or DS4, it also shows the controller's battery level. Maybe it would help you out? IDK :D
