    Information The Battery setting in Power Options allows you to configure notification and action settings you want when your battery reaches a set low and critical level.

    By default, when your battery reaches a low or critical level, you will get a "Your battery is running low" (low) or "Your battery is very low" (critical) notification before the set action is taken.

    This tutorial will show you how to change the low and critical battery notification, level, and action settings for your active power plan in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.
