Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I saw OS X do an emergency shutdown if the battery is really empty. But
this was not really surprising to me. If you watch the estimated time to
life of the battery you see it jumps below 10 minutes. It jumps downwards
and _upwards_. And it's really an *estimate*. I've worked with my iBook
more than 15 minutes while the time estimate shows 1 minute to life.

I would prefer to make the time of shutdown moment customizable or
shutdown the machine not before the charge goes down to zero. I've run
some tests and saw you can work more than 30 minutes after the charge
counter fall to zero, e.g. for sleeping there is enough power to reach
the next power line.

Bye, Jörg.
