Traeger X MEATER Probe Battery
The TXM probes are charged by the charging dock; each hold their own individual battery level.
You can view your probe battery levels in two places:
- Your grill's display
- On the Traeger app.
In order to view the probe battery levels in either location, the probes will first need to be paired. If the probes have not been paired, see Pairing Your Traeger X MEATER Probes.
Each probe's battery life is indicated by one of three icons:
- Green, three-bar battery icon: Good.
- Yellow, two-bar battery icon: About 50% remaining.
- Red, one-bar battery icon: Low; return to dock to recharge.
Probe Battery Life
A fully charged probe (charged for 4 hours or more) can last up to 24 hours of continuous cooking. If you find the battery life is draining quickly, see Traeger X MEATER Probe Not Charging.
