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.
