      Yes its really great, i set the battery level to 80% and Hibernate the system instead of shut it down. Windows 7 is really cool with not only power options.

      This battery option is only available on Notebook computer not on Desktop computer, are you using notebook?
      If you are using a notebook installed Windows 7, recheck “Low battery action” under “Battery” tree menu.
