Hello,
I invite you guys to look inside /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh to see that
the check for AC power or battery is actually completely commented
out. So as far as battery is concerned, the question is moot, and the
filesystem is always checked.
The battery check was introduced in #326647 in 2005:

The reason why it's important to run fsck at boot is because for many
file systems if a file system consistency problem is detected at run
time (this might be
[JFS's regular fsck does nothing but, and is needed to, trigger journal
replay. If the journal replay is skipped, dirty fs will fail the mount,
resulting in a boot failure if / . Being on battery skips fsck.]

Yes, it

Severity: normal
The JFS filesystem replays its journal when FSCK is run. Without
journal replay the filesystem will not allow mount as RW. When running
on batteries and the root filesystem is JFS, after a crash the system is
left in unusable state since F
