How to make Windows notify you when your PC's battery is fully charged to care for and extend its useful life

The battery of our laptop is one of the elements that we must monitor the most. We do it to take care of the useful life and try to extend it, but also to try to save on the electricity bill by preventing it from charging for too long. A task that we can improve by making the PC itself notify us when the battery is charged

Until now, the only thing we can do by playing with the possibilities of Windows is for the system to notify us if the battery is about to run out.If what we want is to be notified when it is charged, we have to use third-party tools such as Battery Notification, a free and simple application that we can download from the Microsoft Store.

Full battery warning

Battery Notification does exactly what it promises on its behalf: it notifies us when the PC has a fully charged battery, the same as on an Android mobile or an iPhone with iOS and the help of Siri. The goal is to prevent an always connected PC from affecting its battery life

Technology has improved and when the battery is charged and we are using the equipment connected to the electrical outlet, the current bypasses the battery and serves to power the equipment, so that it does not overload , but what it does not prevent is that the device heats up.And heat is bad for batteries

The temperature is fundamental to take care of the battery We must stay away from the extremes, because they do not perform correctly both with excessive heat and with low temperatures . You will have noticed how, for example, in summer, when 40 degrees are normal, the batteries fly and perform worse. The same happens with excessive cold and temperatures below 0º. It is therefore ideal to have a medium temperature on a regular basis so that the battery does not suffer excessive wear in daily use.

Keep in mind that when the battery does not reach 100% charge, one of the reasons may be that it gets too hot , so avoiding excessive overheating seems essential.

It is about preventing the PC from continuing to be plugged in when the battery is 100% charged and we can do that with Battery Notification. The application notifies us when the laptop reaches a specific charge percentage that we have set in advance.

Once Battery Notification is downloaded, we just have to give it permissions to run in the background and choose the charge percentage that we want to be the limitset for the application to notify us, a figure that is set at 90% by default.

We can also customize different aspects of the application, either the warning tones (we can use any Mp3 file that we have stored) or record a voice message that will be the ones that will indicate us together with a warning on the screen that the battery has reached the established limit.

In case 100% has not been marked, the application also offers information about the time left for the battery to be fully charged In addition, we can use Battery Notification to notify us when the charge level is very low, being able to choose the percentage and the warning tone again. By default it is set to 25%.

You have to keep in mind that the battery of any device, in this case of laptops, is one of the elements that suffers the most when the equipment spends long periods plugged into the current.
