Did you do a search on here or StackOverflow? I literally did this exact thing for someone else, and used my own script to discover my own battery needed replacing. Search for AppleScript solutions to battery related issues, and you can also filter by user number. I’ll try and find it later today. It’s a solution combining AppleScript with launchd.

| Apr 15, 2019 at 18:01 | comment | added | Allan | This sounds like your battery is failing and the issue is at a particular moment in time it has sufficient charge, but then "hits" a dead cell and the charge falls immediately causing it to power off. See this answer | |
| Apr 15, 2019 at 17:23 | comment | added | user3439894 | In System Preferences under Energy Saver, is the "Show battery status in menu bar" check box checked? If not, then check it. If it is checked and you do not get any low battery warning, then there is something wrong with the system process that monitors it. That said, any script type of solution is probably going to be resource heavy having to constantly check the state of the battery charge. I'd opt for fixing the real issue, otherwise see if some third party app is available to monitor it and pass a warning, as it would probably be more effective resource wise then a script. | |
