Where is the Low Battery warning / notification - Acer Spin513

peter917

I've just bought a Chromebook (Acer Spin 513) to replace a 5 year old Toshiba Cb and also a 4 year old Asus Cb. I am very disappointed with the new Chromebook in relation to one aspect that I hope someone can help with. When the power runs down on my old Chromebooks I get a warning that the power is getting low ie 15 mins left and 5 mins of power left, therefore connect the power lead - no problem. With this new Acer it just shuts down with no warning no notification at all which is totally rubbish whilst in the middle of doing something important, most inconvenient and frustrating. I cannot find anything in 'Settings' to resolve the issue. Please help. Thank you.

The ChromeOS should display a warning for you, the details of that are shown here. If your stats are bad though it can sometimes end up shutting down before the OS thinks it should, and if you have some add-ons installed they take control of that function and may not work as expected.
