You almost got there. The question is also asking for you to check if the battery has 0 bars remaining. So, you would want to return true if the barCount is zero and false if its not. A quick way to do this is to simply return "barCount == 0". If barCount does equal zero the method will return true. If not, it will return false.

public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
  }
}
