With the following code you can have a notification when a battery is almost empty in one of the binary_sensors.

- alias: Notify Low Battery
  initial_state: on
  trigger:
    - platform: template
      value_template: >
        {% for binary_sensor in states.binary_sensor if binary_sensor.attributes.battery_level %}
          {%- if binary_sensor.attributes.battery_level | int < 30 -%}
            {{true}}
          {%- endif -%}
        {%- endfor -%}
        {% for sensor in states.sensor if sensor.attributes.battery_level %}
          {%- if sensor.attributes.battery_level | int < 30 -%}
            {{true}}
          {%- endif -%}
        {%- endfor -%}
  action:
    - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
      data_template:
        message: >
          {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} needs a new battery.

and if you make up an nice lovelace view, you can create an nice view:

You can create this with the custom component: Bar Card

- type: 'custom:hui-vertical-stack-card'
    title: Batterij levels
    cards:
      - type: 'custom:bar-card'
        attribute: battery_level
        positions:
          icon: 'off'
          indicator: inside
          title: outside
        severity:
          - color: '#bf4040'
            from: 0
            to: 15
          - color: '#f39c12'
            from: 16
            to: 40
          - color: '#FFD700'
            from: 41
            to: 60
          - color: '#40bf40'
            from: 61
            to: 100
#            title_position: left
        unit_of_measurement: '%'
        width: 62%
        height: 20px
        style: |-
          bar-card-value {
            margin-right: 7px;
            font-weight: bold;
          }
          bar-card-title {
            width: 37%;
            justify-content: flex-start;
            text-align: left;
            margin: 0px 4px;
          }
          bar-card-indicator {
            left: 20px;
          }
          ha-card {
             box-shadow: var(--card-box-shadow);
             margin: 0px 14px 0px 14px;
           }
