Disable power off while on battery

[Malickfan86]

Since I don't use my computer as much anymore, I've noticed that when I put it to sleep and leave it idle with the power cord unplugged, it shuts off after 5-6 days. When I boot it up following this, it's obvious that it just powered out, it didn't shut down. I put it to sleep like most people and I don't want to keep the cord connected all the time, since it will kill my battery in the long term, nor do I want to worry about un-connecting and re-connecting when I'm not planning on using it.

My question is: if I put it to sleep and the battery level gets low, is there a way to program it to hibernate instead, or at least shut down safely? I've checked advanced power options and the answer doesn't seem to be there.

I don't think so. If it's in sleep mode Windows isn't running so those settings don't come into play anyway.

You should be able to set the power options so the system hibernates after a set period of time.

Not really. I have the cord plugged in for 3 years and the battery is at 99% capacity. The battery is being worn out, when it is being recharged, not when it is being plugged in, it will just recharge and that is it.

Actually, it is. Set the critical batter level to 1% and then set the critical battery action.
