Sun Sep 01, 2013 6:58 pm you can try gKrellm (not a KDE widget so not in panel or systray but works on the desktop. don't have battery but ram alerts work fine for me gKrellm Battery Monitor This meter will be available if a battery exists and will show battery percentage life remaining. A decal indicates if AC line is connected or if the battery is in use. If the data is available, time remaining may be displayed as well as the percentage battery level. If the time remaining is not available or is inaccurate, the Estimate Time option may be selected to display a battery time to run or time to charge which is calculated based on the current battery percent level, user supplied typical battery times, and a default linear extrapolation model. For charging, an exponential charge model may be selected. A battery low level warning and alarm alert may be set. If battery time is not available from the OS and the estimate time mode is not set, the alert units will be battery percent level. Otherwise the alert units will be battery time left in minutes. If OS battery time is not available and the estimate time mode is set when the alert is created, the alert will have units of time left in minutes and the alert will automatically be destroyed if the estimate time option is subsequently turned off. If the OS reports multiple batteries, the alert will be a master alert which is duplicated for each battery. OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x

But its real "ugly" and pretty amazing at the same time, maybe there's anther way to do it too. BUT I think I'll just change the power management battery settings, and make 'critical' as my new low setting and 'low' as my 80% setting and see how that works out...
