FAQ
How do I know if my battery is low?
When the battery is at 15% or less, small pop-ups appear just above the taskbar, and when the battery is at less than 15%, banners appear. If the alerts are turned off for some reason, you won’t get these messages.
Why are my battery notifications not working?
Look at the alerts. When the battery is at 15% or less, small pop-ups appear just above the taskbar, and when the battery is at less than 15%, banners appear. If the alerts are turned off for some reason, you won’t get these messages. To fix this error, check to see if your battery’s notifications are turned on.
Why is my Windows 10 Battery Saver not working?
The low battery warning might not work in Windows 10 if the battery saver mode is on. Battery saver is usually set to turn on when the battery level drops to 20%. If the Low battery warning is set to less than 20%, you might not get the warning. Because the Windows 10 battery saver limits some notifications, this is the case.
No Low battery notification in Windows 11/10
When the battery level on a laptop is low, a message pops up to let you know. Usually, we get two warnings: one when the battery is low and another when the battery is almost dead. This lets us save our work or quickly plug in the charger. If you don’t see these warnings, you may need to change some settings on your computer.
