A method is disclosed comprising determining, by a host (102, 442), that a charge level of an energy source coupled to the host (102, 442) has fallen below a threshold value. The method further comprises transmitting, from the host (102, 442) to a memory device (104, 444) coupled to the host (102, 442), signaling indicative to turn power loss protection on for the memory device (104, 444), wherein the signaling is transmitted based at least in part on determining that the charge level of the energy source has fallen below the threshold value.
