Your point being ???

Look I don't mean to be mean but if a user starts a humongous automated batch job such as :
- a video conversion(one of those x264 insane profile that can take upward of 20 hours to complete at 100% processor usage)
- a calibre conversion of xxxxxxx books
- or whatever other task that will busy your computer for hours
& doesn't check that its computer is properly connected to power so it can complete its task. It's the user's fault no way around it, whether or not he has reasons to have not properly checked the power is irrelevant.

Besides a user could always look up the emergency low battery settings for his particular laptop....
Besides a laptop,
