    I have been trying to change the setting and tweak it so that Windows doesn't Hibernate when battery is 7%, because I get like 30min left at 7% - I have a link here:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/win...-battery-action-do-nothing-windows-vista.html
    Before this I got the tweak from an article.
    It's basically that you run CMD,
    and type:
    powercfg -setdcvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_BATTERY BATACTIONCRIT 0

    But it doesn't work.
    Although this does:
    powercfg -setdcvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT e73a048d-bf27-4f12-9731 3
    Where the 3 is critical level.
    But it still wound up happening to hibernate at 7% but in options I could see the number set to 3%, any ideas?
