Example (wish I took a screenshot, oops):

Running UNR 9.10
I open my computer on battery power and begin surfing the internet in Firefox
After a few minutes of browsing the internet, a message box appears. It says simply

'You are running on battery power. Do you still want to continue?'

There is no indication that this message has anything to do with update
manager. I think this is part of firefox - I click yes.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdateHandling#alert>: "The secondary
text for the alert should consist of one or more list items, depending
on the exact situation ... Whenever the computer is running on battery,
there should be an item (fixing bug 484249 and bug 494772) with exactly
the same battery icon as the power status menu is currently using for
the battery, and the text: “It’s safer to connect the computer to AC
power before installing.” (fixing bug 426708)."
