You could start with BatteryRun from Skrommel

BatteryRun v1.1
Run commands when the power chord is connected or disconnected

Command line:
  BatteryRun.exe "<connect command>" "<disconnect command>"
Example:
  BatteryRun.exe "ding.wav" "calc.exe"

I suggest you go to this page of software by Skrommel (click on this link).
Find "BatteryRun" and download the version to the left of the 'H' symbol (as indicated in the image) you will find code to do what you want if you make very minor modifications.

This is the item you want This.png

You might try AutoIt3.

Unless you're dead set on AHK.  Some things in AHK are way easier, but some stuff, like string handling that's easy in just about every other language, gets me ripping my hair out.  Just a thought. :)

I know the feeling.  I think if I could just get them to always double quote strings that would eliminate half the helpfile browsing.  It does have better mouse "hotkey" support than AutoIt.  But a major thing I like about AutoIt3 is it's more "modular" or at least it's easier to create encapsulated function libraries.

So to break the problem down, you mention the power being unplugged, sound, and a Tooltip(or something similar.)  Are all 3 in need of implementation or just the alerts to the user?

You can use Play to play a .wav file.  afa detecting the power I don't have a notebook or laptop to try it.  For the popup look up ToolTip in the help.
