short power drops are not the topic

the problem is to runa UPS battery completly empty
deep uncharge is very bad for most batteries

besides the problem that i have seen UPSes after power comes
back starting and get completly discharged while the machine
booted because before the power managment of the OS take scontrol
you have 150W on a typical SyndyBrdige machine while after boot
in idle state it takes only 45-55W

this may end in a loop where the battery gets deep uncharged
many times and possibly damaged as also the filesystems are
not thankful for repeated hard power off due FS check at boot
