Display last known battery level #16

Would be great if it could display the battery level when the controller is off. Have it say no controller is connected, but also display the last battery reading.

Uh, and that would be useful because...? The thing is, in theory I could make it store the last level, but since the player ID of a controller isn't static (if you have more than one, which gets which ID depends on the order you turn them on/pair them) and you don't have to charge them via PC means that there are quite a lot of scenarios where the stored level could be entirely wrong.
