batterylow

The event fires when the battery has reached the low level threshold.

window.addEventListener("batterylow", yourCallbackFunction, false);

Details

The event fires when the percentage of battery charge has reached the low battery threshold, device-specific value.

The batterylow handler is passed an object that contains two properties:

  • level: The percentage of battery charge (0-100). (Number)

  • isPlugged: A boolean that indicates whether the device is plugged in. (Boolean)

Applications typically should use document.addEventListener to attach an event listener once the [deviceready](events.deviceready.html) event fires.

Supported Platforms

  • Amazon Fire OS
  • iOS
  • Android
  • BlackBerry WebWorks 5.0+
  • Tizen

Quick Example

window.addEventListener("batterylow", onBatteryLow, false);

function onBatteryLow(info) {
    // Handle the battery low event
    alert("Battery Level Low " + info.level + "%");
}
