Comment(by rsmith):

 Replying to [ticket:12032 greenfeld]:

 > Expected: XO-1.5s should be able to power off safely in low-power
 conditions which Linux does not power off the XO (even potentially in
 runin).  After this happens the EC should be able to restart the XO with
 external power attached.

 No. This is not the expected behavior.  During run-in none of the normal
 services are running.  This includes powerd which is responsible for your
 clean shutdown.  During run-in the battery level should only cycle about
 25-30%.  If you have an XO that reaches critical battery level during run-
 in then its because the battery run-in test has failed.

 The hard power off you described _is_ the expected behavior.
