Hi, I hope someone can help. I have an Acer E1-470 laptop running windows 8.1 64 bit build 9600

The problem I have is that I don’t receive an on-screen message warning of low battery level.
I however the battery level indicator in the task bar still functions correctly.

Last week my laptop hibernates when it reached 30% battery level when I plug-in it has 6% battery level it does charge, but now it reached 20% battery level before it hibernates!

right click on the battery icon on the bottom right of your screen (near the clock)

select "power option"

you will find Select plan - Balanced

click on "change plan settings" then "change advanced power settings"

in the next popup, first check if "Balanced [active]" is the actual active profile.

then click on "Battery"-"low battery notification" and check if both options are "ON"

(please check on "low battery level" the percentage, this is what "triggers" the notification"

if not turn them ON and click on "Apply" - "ok"
