the full send, every knob turned:

batticonplus -u 20 -i notification -c "poweroff" -l 15 -r 3
ngl that last one is giving "i trust my battery daemon with my life" and honestly? iconic. but fr fr, -c "poweroff" runs poweroff when you hit the critical level, so know what you're signing up for before you set it πŸ’€πŸ”₯
