Next time it happens please plug and unplug the external power and see 
if your battery status light changes.

Also please edit /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment out the line:

#kern.*

and redirect the data to a file rather than /dev/console  please use a 
nand backed file rather than /var/log which is a ramfs.  I normally use 
/root/kern.log

Then restart syslogd.

That log file is really chatty so it will grow fast. you will want to 
watch it and trim it down on a regular basis.  When it powers off again 
please send that to me.
