The Apple iPhone comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can last up to 200 hours in standby mode. Most users do not leave their device in standby mode all the time, however, and the battery drains at different speeds depending on the task being performed. Apple's default battery alert does not have an audible sound that alerts you when the battery is low, but several applications can add this feature to your device.

Default Low Battery Alert

No alert sound plays when your iPhone battery is low. However, a visual indicator notifies you that the battery is low. This alert appears as a red battery icon on the device's screen that appears when the device has 20 percent, 10 percent and 5 percent of its battery level left.
