Its not quite what I'm talking about. What I don't want to do is set a timeout to hibernate because depending on how much I use the computer the amount of charge in the battery doesn't last the same amount of time. It might not hibernate when I want it to. So what I want to do is set the standby time to unlimited which won't hibernate then instead of using a timeout to hibernate use percentage of battery charge left. I don't know if it'll work but since the bios has a setting where the computer can wake up automatically I assume it could also keep track of the charge and wake up enough to hibernate from standby. I guess it would have to be a bios level program.
