## Description

Battery Life Alarm & Reminders notifies you when your battery is low or reaches a user-defined charge level. Set a target from 0% to 100%, receive a notification, and hear a melody when the target is reached. This simple, free extension helps save and extend battery life by avoiding overcharging and preventing the battery from draining to 0%.

Background mode is supported again for low thresholds (free). For additional background modes and extra features, upgrade to the Pro version. For suggestions and support, contact timothy@anything.co.za.

## Review summary

Users see the idea as solid and value the Pro version for reliable alerts and the ability to monitor without opening the app. However, reliability is a major issue: alarms often don’t ring or trigger at wrong thresholds, and background mode/pro paywalls complicate usage. Updates can worsen behavior, support contacts are hard to find, and background activity can drain power. Overall, the app is promising for battery monitoring but suffers from reliability, pricing, and support concerns.

### Pros

- Valuable audible battery alerts when thresholds are reached, especially with the Pro version.
- Background mode enables alerts without keeping the app open.
- Helps protect battery health by warning against overcharging and potentially extending battery life.

### Cons

- Alarm reliability is inconsistent; it often fails to ring or triggers at incorrect levels.
- Background mode is gated behind Pro/paywalls and can be unstable or disabled after updates.
- Alarms can fire at wrong times or when not charging, reducing trust in the alerts.
- Support access is poor or hard to reach (broken links, missing contact info).
- Background usage can drain battery and impact device performance.
