+I run gnome classic desktop and I have noticed couple of times that
+my desktop has suddenly restarted couple of minutes after unplugging
+the power cable. (i.e I have lost all open apps and instead the login
+screen has been showed up).
+
+I have failed to get proper logs what has happened, but I have a feeling
+that the system has thought that battery is almost empty while it's
+almost full.
