true, but you knew there were no battery information, so you did it on your own
risk.

if you didn't know... these things must be tested before we can rely on them.
linux is developed by a community of interested users and developers, so you
can't generally complain to anybody and nobody garantees driver implementation
for your specific hardware. you had bad luck. my laptop shut itself down on me
once, but because I forgot the AC-power was unplugged :-/

fortunately we learn mostly from mistakes, so it won't happen again.

regards,
pedro venda.
