The Battery color should be time based.
Some laptop's netbooks have up to 6 hrs of battery life.
35% of that is around 2 hours.
Possibly just having a percentage overlay on top of the battery icon that can be quickly read.
Otherwise tapping into notifications a warning that appears.
First "Warning" : 45 minutes of battery remaining.
Second "Warning" : 30 minutes of battery remaining.
Third "Warning" : 15 minutes of battery remaining.
Fourth "Warning" : 10 minutes of battery remaining.
Fifth "Warning" : 5 minutes of battery remaining.
With the Fourth. Plug in your Laptop NOW or close all applications and shutdown.
With Fifth Warning. Ask the user to go into hibernation to save all their active work until they can charge the laptop.
If the user doesn't respond to the Fifth Warning in two minutes the laptop will automatically hibernate.
Of course the issue with the fifth warning is if hibernation doesn't work on the laptop in which event the best solution left is to repeat the Fourth Warning idea.
