hibernate, as per my original post, I am on the road a lot and I need a
working power monitor that tells me how much battery is left, and when it
gets to critical, it takes the correct action and safely shuts
down/hibernates, not just drops dead because the battery can't give it any
more power

I thought it was not working because of the ficticous values the
time/percentage shows, but when it does show the 3% I note it did not
hibernate, never does/did.
