I found the workaround. Critical battery trigger has two modes:
'nothing' will ignore a seemingly critically low battery signal
'suspend' is the default which causes the computer to suspend upon receiving
this erroneous signal
Check the current mode:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power critical-battery-action
Change the mode to do nothing
$ sudo -s
# cat >
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.gschema.override
<< HERE
[org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power]
critical-battery-action='nothing'
HERE
$ sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
$ sudo dconf update
$ rm -r ~/.config/dconf/user
$ gsettings reset-recursively <schema>
$ gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /
