Could it be the battery is knackered and so the BMS is reporting that
the battery has more charge left in it than reality?

I've got a MacBook here that has a swollen battery (not sure where I can
get spares, the machine is 8 years old) and notice the same phenomena,
only it keels over at about 50%.  And by keel over, it goes down like a
lead balloon.  The OS doesn't get a chance to log anything.

There are some applications that can give warnings and initiate a
shutdown; I have `gkrellm` set up to do this.  Not sure if `acpid`
offers the same features.  Anything else will depend on the desktop
environment in use.  (I'm using FVWM with a few select bits of KDE4
thrown in.)

If it started happening since a software update (and thus can assume to
not be hardware), you might look at /var/log/dpkg.log to see what got
replaced in the last update, that might help narrow the field down a bit.
