I know FC2 can be configured to alert the user when the battery hits a certain level. I believe I have mine set at 12%, it pops up a window alerting me that the battery is low. And with the right acpi or apm options I believe it can be setup to execute a shutdown when the battery hits a threshold. Same thing as using a UPS with the software to logically shutdown your systems when the battery is low. -- Scot L.
