The application could notify the user when the battery is low.

#include <HAL.h>
#include <hal_data.h>
TInt powerBatteryStatus;
//retrieve EPowerBatteryStatus value
HAL::Get( HALData::EPowerBatteryStatus, powerBatteryStatus );
if(powerBatteryStatus == HALData::EPowerBatteryStatus_Zero)
{
//battery status is zero.
//performing corresponding operation
....
}
else if(powerBatteryStatus == HALData::EPowerBatteryStatus_Low)
{
//battery status is low.
