Hi SebasOre,
Welcome to the Community,
If you're referring to the Battery indicator led on the battery itself,it can be used to check the battery charge.To check the battery charge, press and release the status button on the battery charge gauge to illuminate the charge level lights. Each light represents approximately 20 percent of the total battery charge. For example, if four lights are on, the battery has 80 percent of its charge remaining. If no lights appear, the battery has no charge.
Hope this helps,
Thank You

Hi SebasOre,
As per the picture you've posted the five LEDs and the status button is called the Battery Charge Gauge on your system model.
It can be used as follows:
To check the battery charge, press the status button. The number of LEDs that light up indicate the remaining battery charge. Each LED accounts for approximately 20% charge.
To check the battery health, press and hold the status button for at least 3 seconds. The LEDs indicate the following:
No lights – Battery in good condition and approximately more than 80% of the original charge capacity remains.
One to four lights – Approximately 60% to 80% of the original charge capacity remains. Each light represents approximately 5% degradation.
Five lights – Approximately less than 60% of the original charge capacity remains. Battery replacement is suggested.
Hope this answers your question.

Hi SebasOre,
I am referring to the same picture which you posted.The 5 LEDs and status button(battery icon) highlighted below is called the Battery Charge Gauge.

Sorry for the delay in response.It should not be hard to press.You just need to press the button normally (without much force) and hold it for 3 seconds to get the LED to light up.If it does not light up or there is no light it indicates Battery is in good condition and approximately more than 80% of the original charge capacity remains.
