Raise your low-battery limit. Mine hibernates with 10 minutes left -
perhaps it could be shorter, but at 3 minutes, it didn't work. I never
really checked what was happening, but a couple of possibilities come to
mind: acpi hard "wired" to shut down at some time greater than you set for
hibernate; or the capacity left calculation is wrong
