My battery is at 92% and I keep getting this Crtical Battery Notification, it hasn’t shut off my computer but is just annoying. Anyone know why?
Fedora 42 KDE
Currently using the AMD Ryzen™ AI 7 350
Use $ upower -i $(upower -e | grep battery) and (if installed) $ sudo ectool battery to check the battery health. If the battery is dead, contact support for replacement, if not, the power management is bugged and needs software troubleshooting.
Edit: The problem could also be intermittent connection. (I tested on another laptop with hot-swappable battery)If you remove and reinstall the battery while plugged in, the computer will behave normally until you unplug the AC, then KDE will show 0% but the battery itself isn’t failed.

This just started to happen to me. Framework 13, Ryzen 9 A, battery almost new, was charged 98%, and i got notice that laptop will shut down in few seconds since battery is depleted.
I’m on latest Aurora (immutable Fedora).
Issue just suddenly started, so hoping it’s software instead of hardware connection.
Can you cancel the shutdown process? I’m on KDE plasma it has a cancel button on the shutdown imminent notification popup, if you use GNOME you’ll need to find that option.
When it happens again, immediately run $ sudo ectool battery provided you have ectool installed, and $ upower -i $(upower -e | grep battery) . If the voltage and wattage are within acceptable range it’s probably a software problem.
Yes cancel in KDE works. Will install that utility so I’m ready for next time
