low battery notification

Hello, I have the new macbook OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 running 12 and I want to know how I can configure the laptop so that I can choose when I get notified when my battery is almost discharged.

I got 23% battery and still not notified... I would like to be warned before 20% so that I have enough time to find a card,

eradokir-

Using the battery down quite slowly.  I would say even at 80% used, you have more than enough time to find a record. In fact, even 90%.

Just make sure to turn off and additional processes (at the time) you won't need until you get to a form. For example, Safari.

You can check the time remaining very easily, but showing the percentage of battery used in the menu bar.  Then you can click and hold on the on the percentage number and it will tell you how much time is left.  For example, mine is at 89%, and it tell me I left 11 hours.

  • Low battery notification appears when battery reaches a critical level after the upgrade to windows 7

    I've upgraded to windows 7 recently and the battery notification does not work when the battery reaches its critical level.  It worked fine with vista.  Happen before when the battery reaches 25% icon in the notification area there was a visual reminder and when the level reaches 5% a pop up.  Now with windows 7, I get nothing to remind me.  I checked power options where I can change my plans of power and the battery notification read that he was turned on.

    I also had this problem of Windows 7 to go just in hibernation on low battery without notification.

    I checked the site of Microsoft for battery faq and how t change battery notification low that didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. So I decided to experiment some. I discovered that when I changed my battery critical to 'Shut Down' to 'Standby' Action, the low battery Notification arises and could move to a power source. Back to 'Hibernate', I changed the critical Action of the battery and the low-battery Notification appears always. I guess that the system needed just a little help :)

    My installation is barely a week, so I guess that the installation did not have the correct settings. After you apply some changes to settings caused the system to behave properly in this case.

    I hope this will help others with this problem.

    See you soon

  • No notification low battery and my computer off always just, I have all the right settings on

    I bought my laptop now for about 6 months and the part most annoying, is that there is never a low battery notification before my laptop into hibernation. He never showed once.

    The battery meter is active and shown in my system tray. I have entered in options power, modified the options advanced battery low, critical and reserve levels as well as turned ON low battery notification. In the system tray properties > notification area > customize > I also selected "Show icon and notifications".

    The website of microsoft windows 7, as well as many other forums only suggest to do those 2 things. I did these two things, that they were the original settings when I bought this laptop new... What can I do else? Y at - it a patch download, anything? I'd rather not install 3rd party software. I just wish my laptop works properly. I'm not a big player or studying, I just use my laptop to surf the web and watch videos. I also use free Avira Antivirus, if all this is important for why a battery notification will not be displayed.

    Edit: My friend and I bought the same computer exactly the same day. Notifications of his shows and mine doesn't so I know it's possible.

    Simply open your

    "Control Panel"

    and then 'power option' then

    "change advance power settings".

    Here, select the profile you want to be active (energy saving, high performance, etc.)

    Then do scroll up to 'battery' to develop and find "low battery notification" and turn ""on ' for the two 'on battery' and ' connected"and you will." "

    Note:-not necessary to activate it for "plugged".

  • Windows 7 turns off without warning when you reach the low battery level

    I was using a laptop HP which is upgraded from a family of OEM/RTM Windows Vista Edition Premium x 64 SP1 installation to a cleaning of the Version FULL of Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.  When I used it on battery it takes 25-27% left and it close it self of without any warning that the battery was low.  Then, when I connect it to the power cord and turned on I got the message of recovery Windows error that we will choose between the SafeMode / SafeMode with network/Safe Mode command prompt / start Windows normally and I chose to start Windows normally.  I went in the power and clicked Options on advanced settings for the power management that I use and when I extended battery it says:

    Low battery level
    On battery: 25%

    Plugged in: 7%

    Why have I not a warning when he got low battery level and why it automatically shut down and give me this error message.  How can I fix it.

    It could be that your battery is bad.  With my laptop, the battery lasts a few minutes, and if it passes underneath of ~ 20%, it stops instantly.  So, I just put the battery level critical to 25% and the hibernate on battery battery critical.  Windows 7 should be smart enough to tell you if this is the case (at the bottom left icon will have a red x through it, and if you hover over the battery icon it will say "consider replacing your battery."

  • Low battery light flashing

    I have a Toshiba Satelite L745 with Windows 7, fully updated as far as I know based on Windows Update. I recently replaced my battery with an identical.

    While I have access to the office, the triggers for low battery and battery life are very good. However, I remember that, when the battery is low, it would have a flashing light. Now it only flashes even on critical battery and place lights only when the load.

    Because I play on this unit in full screen, I often times do not have access to the desktop, so I am not notified of low battery and my unit sleeps on me.

    Is it possible to add this flashing light again? Maybe a driver or a separate program?

    == EDIT =.
    Battery is configured to never reduce or sleep. (But it still happens. TTwTT)
    Low battery at 35% (value: do nothing)
