Bootloader partition becomes corrupted after laptop runs out of battry

Recently the configuration for my notification daemon broke and I was using my laptop until it ran out of battery.

Every time that I use my laptop until it runs out of battery I have to do A system rescue and reinstall grub onto the EFI partition. I am really tired of doing this so I was wondering If anyone knew why this might happen and any steps that I could take in order to prevent it.


Since this is consistent behavior and has happened multiple times I dont believe that this issue occured due to a random disk write during a programs proccess or something. This could be an issue with grub but I dont know exactly what the source of this issue is.

I doubt the EFI partition is corrupt. It's probably an nvram reset (bad UEFI firmware or dead battery, does system time resets?). Try to put your boot loader at /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi

Yes, the bios memory was reset and I had to reconfigure it. I suppose might have to buy a new cmos battery since it might not hold charge without a full laptop battery. But the issue persisted after recharging and re-configuring the bios with the booting sequence not finding the bootloader. In order to fix the issue I had to reinstall grub onto /boot/efi/EFI/arch/grubx64.efi.
