Laptop battery
4 Answers
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, and if someone uses it and then doesn't plug the charging cable back in it just blacks out when the battery runs down. Can anyone tell me if it can be set up to warn you before the battery runs out, preferably an audible warning?

As far as I remember I achieved this by going to the control panel, double clicking on Taskbar and Start Menu Properties, then click on notification area and make sure that there is a tick in the power option to always show it in the taskbar.
Hope this works for you.
