How to get a voice alert when your laptop battery is low
Use KeyRoutines' Battery low trigger with your level, such as 15 %. Speak text says it out loud, Show banner stays on screen, and Set power mode switches to best power efficiency to stretch what's left.
Steps
- 1
Pick the level
Add Battery low with Below set to 15.
- 2
Say it
Add Speak text, "Battery low, plug in soon".
- 3
Show it
Add Show banner with the needs-attention tone and a long duration.
- 4
Stretch it
Add Set power mode with best power efficiency.
Tips
- Make a second routine at 5 % with Hibernate and a countdown, so you never lose work to a flat battery.
Questions
- Does it fire while charging?
- No. The trigger fires when the battery drops below the level while on battery.
- Is it free?
- Yes.
