If you want something other than hibernation to happen in low battery situations, you can check out Batsignal and it’s -D command argument. I recommend setting this to no lower than 5 percent, and ideally higher to prolong battery life. PercentageLow option controls when the HibernateDelaySec is executed.
I recommend setting these to 15 and 10 percent. You can configure the low and critical battery level reminders by changing the PercentageLow and PercentageCritical options. The battery charge percentage can be configured in /etc/UPower/nf. Deep discharges lead to irreversible loss of capacity in lithium-ion batteries, according to Battery University. This will also extend the longevity of a lithium-ion battery. The earlier it acts, the more likely it is to have enough battery charge left to successfully enter hibernation. I recommend that you reconfigure UPower to begin the hibernation process at 5–8 percent remaining instead. A small, aging, stressed, or warm battery will discharge quickly. Two percent remaining battery charge may not be enough to complete the hibernation process. You can change this behavior by setting CriticalPowerAction=Hibernate in /etc/UPower/nf. In my opinion, when you’ve already reached a critically low battery charge the remaining battery power is better spent entering into hibernation right away.
The time delay is governed by the HibernateDelaySec option in /etc/systemd/nf. If your battery runs out of charge in that two-hour window, your laptop will power down without first entering hibernation. UPower will fallback to hibernating your system right away if it doesn’t support hybrid sleep. Two hours later, if there’s enough power left, it’s suspended to disk and powered down completely (hibernation). Hybrid sleep (suspend to memory) suspends your laptop to a low-power state, but keeps it powered on.
UPower’s default configuration will put your laptop into hybrid sleep when there’s two percent charge left on your battery. Check the documentation for your distribution, or ask on its forums or mailing lists. Or it could be managed by another power manager. If the service isn’t available or isn’t running, your system may not be configured with a power management subsystem. You can check on the UPower service by executing systemctl status rvice. Next, check to make sure that your system is managed by UPower. The link will help you set it up on Fedora Linux and should be helpful in troubleshooting other distributions. Some Linux distributions, like Fedora Linux 32, isn’t configured for hibernation by default. If hibernation doesn’t work, the system will just power down instead, and you’ll lose your session.
You should use your normal user account, and not the root user. So, first thing first: does hibernation work on your laptop? Make sure that both the commands systemctl hybrid-sleep and systemctl hibernate powers down your laptop, and that you can resume your session when you power it back on again. You’re probably reading this article because your laptop is powering down when its battery charge level is low.

Here’s how to prolong your laptop’s battery life and make sure it can handle low battery situations. However, UPower’s default configuration isn’t great for battery longevity and it doesn’t always reserve enough charge to enter hibernation. WITHOUT AC ADAPTER (Just after sudo acpi -Vīattery 0: Discharging, 100%, 71582:46:00 remaining <-(This will stay at 100% forever even when batter is low)Ĭooling 0: Processor 0 of as you can see, my battery is somewhat recognized, but the Power Management icon wont register any info properly.Linux distributions like Fedora Linux and Ubuntu will suspend a battery-powered system when the battery level drops to a critically low charge. More info when I run sudo acpi -V in terminal before and after I unplug the power cable. This has to do with some sort of ACPI problem, but ive tried ACIP=FORCE but doesnt help. Simply cuz Ubuntu doesnt know how much time is remaining and when to warn me. Mainly because when im running on battery there is no warning when the computer is about to die, and it will jsut abruptly shut off with no warning. If anyone has any information on why this is happening or how to fix it, it would help me greatly. My battery is fine because I can run off the battery for a good 2 hours so that shouldnt be the problem. When plugged in it says pretty much the same thing but charging:īattery charge time is currently unknown" Whether im charging or discharging, the pop up says:īattery discharge time is currently unknown" Im running Ubuntu 9.04 and the battery indicator on my laptop always reads 0% no matter what.
