My original Dell battery died after one year, and I made the mistake of buying a new one from eBay.
The new battery starts from 100% charged and after 5 minutes drops abruptly from 95% to ~9-10%. Sometimes the computer doesn't even have the time to shutdown safely because it remains without enough power (and because of this I recently had to repair my Windows setup)…
So until I get a new battery, how can I force Windows to shut down automatically if battery reports less than 50% charge?
Best Answer
Control Panel > Power Options > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings
Then expand the Battery > Low Battery options
