Since about always udisks has been very confused by two batteries (like I have them i my Thinkpad T410s). When the first battery is empty upower/gnome-shell will warn me very very loudly that power runs out, even though I still have the second fully charged one in the laptop too. It warns that it would go into hibernation mode soon, but until now it never actually did that. After a while it did notice again that the second battery is there and fully charged and would then stop showing its warnings, which allowed me to just ignore this weirdness. But it got worse now. With upower in F18 it actually does go to hibernation when the first battery is empty. And since my laptop seldom awakes properly from hibernation my work is all lost as soon as the first battery is empty. Having that second battery hence brings me no benefit at all... :-( $ rpm -qa upower upower-0.9.17-2.fc18.x86_64 $ grep . /sys/class/power_supply/*/* /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online:1 /sys/class/power_supply/AC/type:Mains /sys/class/power_supply/AC/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=AC /sys/class/power_supply/AC/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE=1 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/alarm:199000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_full:3997000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_full_design:4329000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_now:3178000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/current_now:0 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/cycle_count:0 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/manufacturer:SANYO /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/model_name:42T4832 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/present:1 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/serial_number:30770 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status:Unknown /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/technology:Li-ion /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/type:Battery /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT0 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Unknown /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=0 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=11100000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=12172000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=0 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN=4329000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=3997000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=3178000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=42T4832 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=SANYO /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER=30770 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/voltage_min_design:11100000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/voltage_now:12172000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/alarm:96000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/cycle_count:0 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/energy_full:19230000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/energy_full_design:31320000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/energy_now:2110000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/manufacturer:SONY /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/model_name:51J0508 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/power_now:22511000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/present:1 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/serial_number: 2132 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/status:Charging /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/technology:Li-poly /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/type:Battery /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT1 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Charging /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-poly /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=0 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=10800000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=12038000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_NOW=22511000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=31320000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=19230000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=2110000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=51J0508 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=SONY /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent:POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER= 2132 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_min_design:10800000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now:12038000

Same here with Lenovo Helix. When first battery is empty, upower suspends the machine. Quite annoying, what extra logs would you need?
It's not UPower suspending the machine, but whatever runs in your session, handling power events. For GNOME, that's gnome-settings-daemon. Please file a bug against your desktop environment with information such as version of the component, and the output of "upower -d" when (or rather, just before) the problem happens. There should be a "battery low" warning before the battery critical warning and the suspend/switch off.
What desktop environments are others using? I'm experiencing this at XFCE 4.10.
Reported upsteam to XFCE: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10641
I'd like to reopen this. It's annoying and I believe an upstream bug. Output of upower -d: http://paste.ofcode.org/ZcEyNLTWRRMC33z2DfQUSq In BAT0 history you can clearly see how it's changing state from charging to discharing although the power cable has been disconnected for nearly half an hour. All notifications and actions are based on upower api, including suspend action. Let me know if you want more information, I'm using Lenovo Helix model (first edition).
Please test this with newer versions of UPower, at least version 0.99.2.
I'm running Ubuntu 17.10 on a Lenovo T460s. UPower is at version 0.99.6 and the problem is still there. Whenever one of the two batteries is empty my laptop simply powers off. I am shocked to see that this is a 6 year old bug. The main recommendation seems to simply uninstall upower (see https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/How-to-get-dual-battery-to-switch-without-powering-off-in-Linux/td-p/3890605). I don't know enough about what upower exactly does so I am very reluctant to simply kick it to the curb.

Seeing as it took 3 years for somebody to test with a newer version as requested, and that we don't have access to any hardware to test this, it's not really surprising. Edit /lib/systemd/system/upower.service to "--verbose" to the upowerd command-line, and reboot your system. Send us the output of "journalctl" after the problem happens (use "journalctl -b" to get just the current boot's journal).
We also have a test for multi-battery setups which doesn't show the problem: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/tree/src/linux/integration-test#n410
