How to add a fourth device to the Battery widget

How can I add another device to the battery widget. The widget allows one see remaining charge time of 3 devices. There is place for 4. How can I add the forth?

As far as I know you cannot add devices to the Batteries widget. The system detects battery powered devices and adds them. I use the larger window and it shows five devices: Keyboard, Mouse, AirPods Pro case, AirPods Pro earbuds, and UPS.

To show a fourth device in your Apple battery widget, ensure the device is turned on, has Bluetooth enabled, and is actively connected or paired directly to that specific phone or tablet.
