4. The Battery Warning Panel

This tab groups together the options that control what happen when a pre-determined battery low condition occurs.

4.1 Low trigger

This field specifies at which point the battery low state is detected - it is the number of minutes left (according to APM) in your batteries. When this number is crossed the low state is triggered and one or more of the following things will occur

4.2 Run Command

This is a shell command that will be executed when the battery low is detected. By default, this is turned off.

4.3 Play Sound

This specifies a sound to play when battery low is detected. As of this version, it will only play .wav files. Simply specify the path to the file to have it played. By default, this is turned off.

4.4 System Beep

Enabling this will cause Battery to beep whenever the battery level drops below the preset value. This is probably the least intrusive, yet still active, method of alerting the user that the battery is low. By default, this is on.

4.5 Notify

Enabling this will cause Battery to popup a window when the battery becomes low.
