What is Battery Limiter?
Battery Limiter watches your laptop battery level and sounds an alarm at the threshold you choose. Its main-window slider sets the upper alarm limit from 30% to 96%, with 90% as the publisher’s stated default. When the alarm sounds, unplug the laptop to stop it and continue on battery power. This suits a desk-based charging routine where you want a reminder rather than another percentage display.
Settings include a lower-charge alarm, theme colors and custom alarm sounds. The publisher’s 1.0.8 release notes add support for multiple audio formats, including MP3. Stealth mode keeps the main interface hidden with a tray icon, while the manual describes a visual notification for the alarm.
Do not confuse the alarm threshold with a built-in battery charging controller: the normal workflow still requires you to disconnect power. The optional “so smart” feature can connect to smart devices such as smart plugs, but automatic charger control depends on that separate setup. The gallery image shows an older interface, not a newly installed 1.0.8 build. Exact current Windows build support and processor architecture are not established by the sources used here.
What it offers
- Choose an upper battery alarm threshold from 30% to 96% using the main-window slider.
- Enable a separate lower-charge alarm in settings.
- Use a tray-based stealth mode with a visual alarm notification.
- Customize theme colors and alarm sounds; version 1.0.8 adds formats including MP3.

Good to know
- The standard alarm does not itself enforce a universal hardware charge cap; you must unplug the charger.
- Automatic charger control through “so smart” requires a separate compatible smart-device setup.
- The publisher describes preventing sleep during monitoring; the 1.0.5 notes allow sleep while not charging.
- Current Windows build compatibility and processor architecture were not verified; the screenshot depicts an older release.
