When GNOME Power Manager has started, the following notifications may be displayed.

3.1. AC Adapter Unplugged

Figure 1 GNOME Power Manager Notification when AC adapter is removed

You can disable this notification by changing the GConf key /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify/discharging.

3.2. Fully Charged

Figure 2 GNOME Power Manager Notification when laptop primary battery is fully charged

You can disable this notification by changing the GConf key /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify/fully_charged.

You will only get a repeat notification if your battery percentage charge drops below 95% and then is again fully charged. This prevents some machines from showing unwanted repeat notifications if the battery is incorrectly reporting the charged status.

3.3. Power Low

When the battery is low, you will receive the following notification. You should consider switching to AC power really soon.

3.4. Power Critical

When the computer has run out of power, it will show this notification explaining what action is required. You can change the critical low action using the preferences tool.
