How to change critically low battery value
https://askubuntu.com/questions/92794/how-to-change-critically-low-battery-value
I would like my laptop to hibernate itself when the battery level is 10% to be sure it has enough power to complete the operation properly. Actually if I don't pay attention my laptop informs me it will hibernate when it's too late, so instead it brutally shuts down. This kills lithium batteries and is not acceptable.
Start dconf-editor
Browse to org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> power
Change the values of percentage-critical and percentage-action to the level you require
Change use-time-for-policy to false
Done!
You can also do this from a terminal with:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-critical 10
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-action 9
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power use-time-for-policy false
