Hmm, but let's say the battery is 40% charged.  Then it's not very clear if it
will last an hour.  All of a sudden the issue becomes system specific, or it
may even depend on things like whether wake-on-lan is enabled, right?

If we could get a power management event and wake the system when the battery
reaches a low condition that would be really awesome.  But I don't think this
is possible AFAIK.

Thanks,
Adam
