The battery was low but from the system battery icon it could still work for hours.

If the OTA update had been downloaded at any time prior - yes.
The battery icon shows terminal voltage - not remaining storage capacity.
@NiLuJe: Last I checked (admittedly, many firmware revisions ago) the updater also **only** checks the battery terminal voltage.
Note: Battery terminal voltage on a Li-Ion battery
**does not** indicate storage (or remaining storage) capacity.
The Kindle **can** check the battery storage capacity, and the various battery report add-ins we have here does report it.
A tad bit too late in this case.
This is a Paperwhite - but it has fallen back to downloader mode -
so the utilities on the KUBRICK cd may be able to deal with the problem.
Hint (too late here):
I make it a habit to put my Kindles on external power **before** turning them on after a period of non-use.
