I have been using my Ax to listen to podcasts with the screen off, and my Piel cover over the screen.
When the low battery warning is displayed, I don't see it, and the screen stays on - draining the low battery even faster.

I looked a little, but cannot seem to find SW to provide an audible warning.
I have tried a few battery warning SWs, Birdsoft and a few others that I don't use anymore (and uninstalled).
I also have iLauncher, but it doesn't have this feature either, and I have it set to open the power settings.

Tweaks2k2 has a setting that enables this. It's only a registry setting (I think) so you could use a registry editor if you can find out what value to change. You could try installing the lite version (read: free) of Tweaks2k2 to see if it is an available option.

Have you looked in Settings|Sounds & Notifications|Notifications tab. You can disable the "Display message on screen" option and only have it play a sound. If you can't find the "Low Battery Warning" under the events pull-down, then you will need to apply a tweak as suggested above. 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!
