+### Understand the alert
+
+The `linux_power_supply_capacity` alert is triggered when the remaining power supply capacity of a Linux system is low. A warning state occurs when the capacity falls below 10%, and a critical state occurs when it falls below 5%. This alert indicates that the system may run out of power and shut down soon.
+
+### Troubleshoot the alert
+
+1. **Restore power**: Connect the system to a power source to recharge the battery and prevent an unexpected shutdown.
+
+2. **Check battery health**: Inspect the health of the system's battery. If the capacity is consistently low or degrading, consider replacing the battery.
+
+3. **Consider a UPS**: If your system experiences frequent power interruptions, you may want to integrate an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to provide temporary power and prevent system shutdowns.
+
+4. **Monitor power supply metrics**: Keep an eye on power supply metrics, such as remaining capacity and charge/discharge rate, to ensure the system is functioning optimally.
