You can use a Text object to display the battery level. You only need a reference to the AGV, which you could get by setting up a pointer label on the text object.

You read the battery level through "AGV(reference).batteryLevel". To have the text show this value, convert it to a string and assing it to the "textnode" treenode variable in the Text Display code.

Here's some battery level indicator draw code for the agv object (for those finding this post from the title but wanting a graphical representation):

// If this function returns a true, the default draw code of the object will not be executed.
drawtomodelscale(current);


Vec3 p1=Vec3(current.size.x*0.2,current.size.y*-0.5,current.size.z*1.2);
Vec3 rsize=Vec3(current.size.x*0.6,0,0.3);
Vec3 p3=p1+rsize;
Vec3 p2=p1+Vec3(rsize.x,0,0);
Vec3 p4=p1+Vec3(0,0,rsize.z);
double pcCharge=AGV(current).batteryLevel;
Color battCol=Color.fromPalette(pcCharge,"BatteryColor");
double r=battCol.r;
double g=battCol.g;
double b=battCol.b;
drawline(view,p1.x,p1.y,p1.z,p2.x,p2.y,p2.z,r,g,b);
drawline(view,p2.x,p2.y,p2.z,p3.x,p3.y,p3.z,r,g,b);
drawline(view,p3.x,p3.y,p3.z,p4.x,p4.y,p4.z,r,g,b);
drawline(view,p4.x,p4.y,p4.z,p1.x,p1.y,p1.z,r,g,b);
drawrectangle(p1.x,p1.y,p1.z,rsize.x*pcCharge/100,rsize.z,-90,0,0,255*r,255*g,255*b,1);
drawtoobjectscale(current);

The code uses a color pallet:
