batterycritical

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

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

Details

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

The batterycritical 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 window.addEventListener to attach an event listener once the [deviceready](events.deviceready.html) event fires.

Supported Platforms

  • iOS
  • Android
  • BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher)
  • Tizen

Quick Example

window.addEventListener("batterycritical", onBatteryCritical, false);

function onBatteryCritical(info) {
    // Handle the battery critical event
    alert("Battery Level Critical " + info.level + "%\nRecharge Soon!");
}
