Battery low signal led to soon :)

Hi there, I find it good that devices tell me when their battery is running low. But on the mudita kompakt this could shift a little bit. I mean my device is on 1 Day Left off battery and to my amusing it stressed me just a few seconds. Cause you know you are used to dealing with low battery right on time… Not with the kompakt…you still got only a FULL DAY left :smiley:

So maybe, just maybe but the little red dot on when you have to really charge the device in the next few hours and not while you still have a whole day left?

Preferably one could disable this entirely, a simple low battery icon on the lock screen would ideally suffice, I never quite understood the idea of turning ON an LED when a device is low on battery - granted it’s probably minimal but an e-ink screen is made to display information with no energy draw once set?

I believe that the LED light indicating low battery is set to turn on when the battery falls below 20%. According to several sources, it is also good to keep the battery within the range of 20-80% to avoid excessive wear. The LED also turns green when you charge and the battery is charged over 80%.I think this is a good thing. :slight_smile:

Hi mine charges at the moment and is about 34% “full” but the led stays red. So maybe if your are charging the device it needs to be at a higher threshold… I just found it funny that a low battery means 1 day left instead of I will be off in 10 minutes if you don´t charge me :smiley:
