No explanation of low battery notification sound on lock screen
Other sound notifications (various flavors of messages etc.) come with an explanatory icon on the lock screen. The battery low notification on the other hand remains an unexplained random beep. There should be some direct indication of low battery state on the lock screen.
Reducing passive distraction by hiding 50–100% battery charge under the fold is a reasonable idea. Hiding 0–20% battery charge under the fold defeats that idea by requiring the user to engage in active distraction by checking it.
