Note: Even if you don’t set the low-battery alarm, the charge indicator lets you know that the battery is low, and then the computer enters the power-saving mode automatically. This default low-battery behavior is independent of the operating system; so if you have set the low-battery alarm, the computer may not do what you specified.
