For more fun, it could go from 40% charged (kinda low), to 15% charged (insert an empty high capacity battery while trying to give more power to the system). In each of these cases, the actual amount of time remaining for the system hasn't changed, but you're going to cause any application listening to a percentage to panic.
This use case justifies the existence of battery{low|critical|ok} events.
