Hi @BethB55,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To get an alert when your HP 14 Laptop PC battery is fully charged, you can use either built-in Windows settings or third-party software. Here’s how you can achieve this.

Use Built-in Windows Settings (No Additional Software Needed)

Windows doesn’t natively provide a notification for a fully charged battery, but you can create a custom solution using the following methods:

1. Task Scheduler + Script

1. Create a Script to Detect Battery Percentage:
   • Save the following as a .bat file:

@Echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('WMIC Path Win32_Battery Get EstimatedChargeRemaining /format:list') do set charge=%%a
if %charge%==100 (
   msg * "Battery Fully Charged"
)

1. Set Up a Task Scheduler Trigger:
   • Open Task Scheduler.
   • Create a new task that runs the .bat file every 5-10 minutes.
   • Set the task to run only when the laptop is plugged in.

Use Third-Party Software

1. Battery Notification Tools

Battery Notification: A lightweight app that alerts you when the battery is fully charged. You can customize the alert sound or pop-up notification.

Battery Alarm: Free software with options for custom alerts when the battery hits a specific charge percentage.

Download Links (search for these trusted tools online):

• Battery Notification: https://sourceforge.net/projects/batterynotification
• Battery Alarm: https://github.com

2. Battery Monitor Apps

• BatteryCare: Monitors battery status and gives notifications for charge and discharge thresholds.
  • Website: https://batterycare.net/

Use Manufacturer Software (HP Support Assistant)

• Install the HP Support Assistant from the HP website.
• Navigate to the Battery Health Manager or Battery Check features.
• Configure notifications for charge completion, if available.

Which is Best?

• Built-in Settings: Best for simplicity and avoiding third-party installations.
• Battery Notification Tools: Great for a user-friendly interface and advanced features.
• HP Support Assistant: Ideal for HP-specific laptops and integrated diagnostics.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

Hi, thank you for your response.  I have successfully used Task Scheduler.

Unfortunately, the only link that seems to be working is batterycare.net.

HP Support assistant allows me to check the battery but not configure notifications, although you did say that this might not be available.

Thank you for helping.
