Usually, I use percent.
"I'm at 30%"
"My phone is at 30%"
"My battery has 30% left."
If you don't want to use specifics like percentages, it's common to use "almost":
"My battery is almost dead" = below 1/3 battery left

Never heard of someone say "three girds". I have heard "my phones at 3 bars", but It's typically said: My battery has 50 percent left .
or
My battery is almost dead.
