Re: battery status

[Phil Halton]

there's a podcast on Applevis.com about a battery app that deals with all 
things battery. David Woodbridge did the podcast, and a search on the site for 
"battery" will probably bring it up.

RE: battery status

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hi, 

When I first got my MBA about 2 1/2 months ago, I had the same question.
Over the weekend, I finally got my first alert when the MBA went down to 5%.
So, you stated that you were plugging in at 7%, which would not trip the
alert. I have no idea if this alert can be changed like increasing it to
10%. I was wondering if other more seasoned Mac users can chime in on how to
configure the battery alert percentage to be increased or to have a shortcut
on the desktop to access this info instead of opening the status menu. 

Thanks. 

Eileen

Hello,
Is there a way on the Mac to get an alert when the battery is at 20%
and/or10% as is the case on the iPhone?  Mine is at 7% now-about to plug it
in, an so far,no alerts More a curiosity than anything else-thanks.

You can also install a script to announce battery status. All I have to do 
is press option-b and battery status is announced. I am running Snow 
Leopard.

Re: Battery status

[Bryan Jones]

Hi Catherine,

Here's one way to do it. The following steps assume you are running OSX Lion 
10.7.2.
1. Make sure your system is set to display the battery status in the menu bar. 
You can do this by checking the check box under the battery tab of the Energy 
Saver preference pane.
2. Press VO+M+M to move the VO focus to the status menu, which is located on 
the right side of the menu bar along the top of your screen.
3. Press VO+left or right arrow repeatedly until you reach the battery status 
icon, whereupon you should hear something like "Battery 80 percent remaining" 
or " Battery charged."

HTH,
Bryan
