How to get the “Your battery is broken” message to go away?

Question

Every time I turn on my computer, I see a message saying something like:

Your battery may be old or broken.

I am already aware that my battery is bad. How do I suppress this message?

Answer 1

Maybe these instructions will help you to get rid of that message.

Added instructions from the link, Alt+F2, then type in gconf-editor.

Navigate to /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify/low_capacity and untick the value.

Or a single command:

gconftool --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify/low_capacity --type boolean false

Answer 2

I run this:

gconftool --set /org/mate/power-manager/notify-low-power --type boolean false
gconftool --set /org/mate/power-manager/notify-low-capacity --type boolean false

Answer 3

This worked for me:

If you have a machine with Windows as a dual-boot option, you can boot to Windows and let the battery recharge here. When the battery has recharged for a while, you can boot to Ubuntu and let it do the rest.

Answer 4

In Ubuntu mate, gconf editor is not installed by default and installing it will not help.

Instead, you should use dconf editor.
You will need to navigate to /org/mate/power-manager and then untick notify-low-capacity.
