Battery--Warning Message
I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 with Windows 7
When I am running on battery power, I used to get a warning at 10% in the lower right of the screen telling me to plug in.
I no longer receive this message. Instead, I receive a more serious warning at 7% in the middle of the screen that tells me to plug in.
What happened? Why is my laptop behaving differently?

I have checked the options. Low battery level is 10%. Nothing was changed. The message just stopped popping up at 10%.

I changed to 15%; it worked a couple of times. It stopped working. I change it to different levels. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't

Your battery might be faulty, what is the cycle count of your battery?
