Instructions for the tweak were originally taken from Philippe Majerus' site but the link no longer works.

First get yourself a good registry editor such as PHM's free regEdit. Use it to navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications.

Then look for a key named {A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}. If it doesn't exist then create it.

Under that key create a new String Value named Default with its data set to "Low Battery Warning".

Exit out of the registry editor and go to Start|Settings|Personal tab|Sounds & Notifications|Notifications tab. Under the "Select an event" pull-down select the new "Low Battery Warning" event that you just created. You can then disable/enable both sounds and the message for this event.

This looks to have done the job.
I've gotten tired of having my battery low at the end of the day and not realize it.
Yesterday it was registering 0%!
Thanks DoDoubleGeo, this may save me from a hard reset due to low battery!
