In the next window scroll down and find the “Battery” option, Expand it.

Expand “Low battery Level” and change the “on battery” value to whatever you want.

that's great.
Yes its really great, i set the battery level to 80% and Hibernate the system instead of shut it down. Windows 7 is really cool with not only power options.

Nice work keep it up
This is really useful when i am not on my desk and electricity shut down, using this Windows 7 power management feature my laptop automatically hibernate / shutdown when battery comes to specified level.
What is doing wrong? its not working on my laptop.
i haven't low battery action and notification
its ultimate 7
This battery option is only available on Notebook computer not on Desktop computer, are you using notebook?
If you are using a notebook installed Windows 7, recheck "Low battery action" under "Battery" tree menu.
