I know that one can see battery information in the log file, and unless I've missed something, I cannot find this information in webtags or the relevant sensor with a battery issue identified in the raised alarm. This would save time in identifying the sensor in question especially when not actually on-site or if having to ask a family member to help by changing a battery! There seem to only be 3 webtags relating to battery information but nothing to indicate what is actually shown.

Re: Ecowitt specific battery information in webtags and/or alarms
I agree battery status isn't very comprehensive. It's better for Davis stations where a per transmitter status is available.
It has been taken a just a warning in the past, a prompt to go check the station. Because of the number of sensors you could have on an Ecowitt station I think it would have to be handled differently. Keep the current overall status, and have another tag that lists all the sensors that triggered the low state?
