Laptop Battery.
jrmelb:
Is there any software that will alert you to the power cord being disconnected from a laptop and/or to the battery reaching low levels.
4wd:
Windows will alert you when your battery gets low, first will be a warning, then there'll be a critical alert, followed by standby, hibernation, or shutdown (depends on how you have it configured).

Laptop Battery.
tomos:
Not a direct solution, but works for me - I have different screen-brightness settings for battery and electricity.
In Win8 I get a full screen banner when the battery is down to 10%. But have a good look around the power options as 4wd suggests.
Innuendo:
Isn't there usually an icon down in the system tray that shows whether you are on AC or battery?

It doesnt notify of the change though (power => battery).
FWIW just discovered it is a convenient way of getting to the power options though, via right-click.
