But it only pops out when there's like 1% battery left in the mouse - basically making sure you will lose power soon. The sheer lack of thinking here boggles the mind. Guys, it's an alert, it's not useful at all if I get it right before the bad thing happens. How would you like it if I switched on my turn signal 1 second before I actually turn my vehicle in front of you?

The low battery warning appears at 15% charge remaining. Perhaps you disabled the warnings sometime ago and forgot you did it?

No, I have most definitely not.

And it's absolutely not 15%. That would be fantastic. It's in the low single digits.
