How to make MacBook automatically hibernate when the battery gets low?

[mottstreet]

When I don't have my MacBook plugged in for a few days, the next time I open it I often find that the battery is at 5% or less. I know that running the battery all the way down is really bad for it so on Windows I had always set it to automatically hibernate if the battery gets down to 15%-20% or so. (It's also nice to always have at least some battery left for emergencies.)

Is there a way to configure macOS to go into hibernation mode when the battery reaches a certain level so that the battery doesn't drains completely?

I’m pretty sure that macOS goes into hibernation on its own once the battery reaches critical levels like 1% left.

It should hibernate by default, but the settings sometimes get messed up.
If you do: pmset -g from Terminal while the laptop is running on battery, what does it show? It may be that those settings need to be tweaked. I did a fresh install of Mojave and mine were all messed up.
