The three alerts
In Settings → Battery:
- Charging shows a short alert when you plug in the charger.
- Low Power warns you when Low Power Mode turns on or the battery is low.
- Fully Charged tells you when the battery reaches your full charge level.
All three are on by default.
Choose the levels
- Low battery threshold sets the percentage that triggers the low battery alert. It starts at 20%.
- Full charge threshold sets the percentage that counts as full. It starts at 100%. If your Mac often stops charging below 100%, for example with Optimized Battery Charging, set this lower so you still get the alert.
Style and sound
- Low battery style and Full battery style: Standard (a detailed card) or Compact (a slim, charging-like layout).
- Low battery sound and Full battery sound play a sound with the alert.
How long they stay
Charging duration, Low battery duration and Full battery duration set how long each alert stays. Each starts at 4 seconds.
