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. 1

    Pick the level

    Add Battery low with Below set to 15.

  2. 2

    Say it

    Add Speak text, "Battery low, plug in soon".

  3. 3

    Show it

    Add Show banner with the needs-attention tone and a long duration.

  4. 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
