Some systems might take a minute or two to shutdown, and having just three minutes of battery life left gives you little headroom, so the safest presumption would be to shutdown immediately. Since you thought it'd had enough time to charge, are you sure that the battery is okay, or that your UPS is capable of providing enough power for the load that you've put on it? -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
