It would be nice to have individual "low-battery" threshold values stored for each device to trigger low-battery notifications . I've not found a low-battery battery notification package or blueprint which addresses how different devices (like my front door lock) do not work well below 75%, others might work okay down to 40% while some may go as low as 20% or lower and still function.

Describe the solution you'd like

Create an additional sensor to store a low-battery level threshold value (%) for the device along with a service to be able to set/change the value, like the one for battery replaced date.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Digging inside existing solutions to hard-code exceptions for the low-battery alert threshold.

Additional context

Perhaps also consider adding an additional true|false sensor which becomes true when battery_level < low_battery_threshold.
Once a low-battery level threshold sensor exists, users could create templated helpers but having the integration do that itself would be useful!
