I repeated another deep discharge yesterday, and I'm up from 1574 to 1866 :-)) We'll see how long that game can go on before the batteris are terminally dead ... Another question regarding pmud: wouldn't it be a good idea to permit pmud not shutting down the machine when it reaches 0% charge, but give it a way to monitor the battery voltage, and run until close to battery shutdown point? At least for me (and I think for you too...) there's a huge difference between the two... It would need some calibration, but the user can take care of that. Like, an option '--end-voltage=<raw voltage reading>', and let the user chose what to specify.
