I ran out of money

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to indicate that someone has no more money available at the moment.

This phrase is used to express that someone has used up all their money and currently has none left.

Examples:

  • I ran out of money, so I couldn't buy the concert tickets.
  • She ran out of money and had to borrow some from a friend.
  • They ran out of money while on vacation and had to cut their trip short.

i am running out of battery

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to indicate that a device's battery is depleting.

This phrase is used to express that a device's battery is currently depleting and may soon be empty.

Examples:

  • My phone is running out of battery, I need to charge it soon.
  • The laptop is running out of battery, I should plug it in.
  • The remote control is running out of battery, I need to replace them.

Alternatives:

  • My battery is about to die
  • My battery is close to depletion
Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I ran out of money' is used to indicate that someone has no more money available at the moment, while 'I am running out of battery' is used to express that a device's battery is depleting. The first phrase refers to a lack of money in the past, while the second one describes an ongoing process of losing battery power.
