I run gnome classic desktop and I have noticed couple of times that
my desktop has suddenly restarted couple of minutes after unplugging
the power cable. (i.e I have lost all open apps and instead the login
screen has been showed up).

I have failed to get proper logs what has happened, but I have a feeling
that the system has thought that battery is almost empty while it's
almost full.
